I would have more space in the house and less mess. I wouldn't have to listen to my dad complain about "pit bulls", or believing the lies he is told by his wife via her son (ex:I have more dogs than I claim; One of my dogs is mauling my goats, etc.).
I would have more money and less responsibility. No dog hair all over the place and my clothes. No worry about a dog getting sick or, in the case of Lakota recently and once my Mooey (RIP), poo in my car!

But I would be very unhappy and lonely (people only do so much for me in the companionship department). I had to live without dogs for a few yrs before I remarried bc of an odd work schedule and a long commute. I just was not home enough to take care of a dog. My son even had to stay with my dad bc of it. Some nights I didn't get home until midnight, and I might have to leave by 8 the next morning. I even worked 12+ hrs a day at times. But it was good money with benefits, and I loved the job. I would rather not have to ever be in that situation again, however. I would miss my son and my dogs way too much to go back to that.
