Even when she can run around outside and chase this chipmunk (her arch-enemy), she mostly just sits on the porch or in the yard.
What could be easier?
(And she's a BIG dog.)
No offense intended, by the way, about the cat -- you just struck me as someone who wouldn't want a cat as a pet.

I'm neither a cat nor a dog person. I like both for different reasons.
At this point in my life, I don't think I could give a dog enough attention. Dogs need more companionship than cats (Yes, the notion of children scares the shit out of me).
My concern with getting a dog is making sure we get a smart one. We have one very smart cat and one idiot. Its comical to watch them interact. I'm afraid, however, that a dumb dog lumbering about knocking shit over would be intolerable.
If the wife makes me go to the burbs, however, I may get a dog asap. My uncle's got a wonderful lab which he uses as an excuse to leave the house for long walks... to the pub. I hear dogs are a great cure for screamin children in this regard...
