As a long time dog owner and one that traveled full time with a dog..........
Don't get one!
You don't have a dog, haven't had a dog, don't want a dog and traveling with one is limiting.
Dogs can't go every place with you...you will have to leave it in the MH when going out. Going out you will have to curtail your time away.
You will resent having the dog, it will be a constant conflict, you will not enjoy traveling with the dog, you will not travel........MH will sit. You will resent having the MH.
Sorry folks......but if OP is NOT on board with getting a dog, then it will be nothing but aggravation.
I agree, as much as my Collies are a part of my life I think it would be a poor time to get one. Dogs are a long term, not something you can stick in a cornor when not useing. It's a change in lifestyle. If your wife wants to be around dogs for awhile she could volunteer at a shelter or pet sit.
