Dude, get the puppy!!

Its a clear choice. Your worries are grounded, but the way it reads, you have a choice to make between having something good for a while then having to deal with loosing it, or living in fear and never having the good thing at all, even for a limited time.

All things are limited, even our own lives right?

I donno man, dogs are great, a lot of responsibility, so make sure you can give it a good home, and you get a breed that suits your life, but its great.
