I always found the kid's hamsters and stuff in the bottom of the furnace. Try there, SD.
The whole dog thing isn't all that rough. There's a lot to take in, though.
Don't let it scare you, and take your time.
Shop for the kind of dog you want. Ask and make sure it's a good idea.
After that it's WAY easier to tailor a "plan" for you and you won't have to do a bunch of extra breed-specific learning.
That'll make it feel like it's not so overwhelming. Step at a time, my brother.
Don't get a Bubs. He's awesome, but he's a full time job.
