I want to have a dog at home....

Hello Jasmin_niza, If you really want a dog and your husband agree with this, it is something that can be done. Not every pet dog stay at home with somebody, you know? Most of the dog owners work during the day and their dogs stay home alone for 7 or 8 hours. We, too, have 8 hours jobs, and the dog waits for us until we return home. If you make sure she exercises enough before you leave her home alone, she will be tired enough to sleep until you return home from work. The space is not a problem, either. I have a friend that lives with two large dogs - an Airedale Terrier and a Great Dane - in a small apartment (one bedroom). As I said, if she is with her owners and she benefits from enough exercise, you'll have a happy dog, no matter how large is your house.

hello, Yeah, because of your work you cannot have a dog. Well, you start liking the Arowana because this is the only pet you can have since both of you are working. right? Its alright at least both of you will love the Arowana fish and both of you will take care of it.

Why not a cat? Cats are great for people who work because they're mostly self suffecient. Some people just aren't "cat people," but they can be good pets and are easy to care for. I am not a "dog person," but I know that even if I were, my work schedule would just not accomodate one. You could also look into other pets like rodents (hamsters, ferrets, etc.) or birds.
