Sorry, been busy at work to reply quickly.

Rob, a cat is defiantly out of the question. I can't stand them, lol.

My whole condo is hardwood floors. I was planning on getting one of those pee mat containers (that look like grass) which blocks the odor. There was a site which advertised them for every size dog. Aren't the floors usually durable?

Tim, you made a valid point. Though I think I'm past the "drinking every weekend, and partying all the time" stage in my life. I would rather save my money then blow it on alcohol. I'll go out the odd time, but I never get that drunk where if I came home to a dog, I would just ignore it.
