Only thing I'd ask is how busy are you? Because we adopted our guy from someone who was a RN that worked more than 12 hours a day. So when he got home, he'd be exhausted and didn't know how to deal with the Boston Terrier energy, so he kept him in his crate unless he was taking him out or feeding him. But then again, that guy got a dog ostensibly so he could pick up dates, so he wasn't the right type of dog owner anyway.
