also, doggy door is the only way to go. I had a dog for years before getting one and it's so much nicer that she can let herself out whenever she need to go, or just wants to be outside for awhile.

That's dumb. If I were to get a dog I'd just save a monthly amount.

I spent $5k on a new ACL for the dog b/c of kids and wife.

If I couldn't handle the crying of my kids and wife I'd already have a dog.

Mister P

But isn't the fact that you're considering it proof that you can't handle it?

I'm not considering it. Just curious about the current state of dog ownership.

Mister P

In that case. Tell her who is boss. Say no to the dog. Put up your feet

Frosting too?

Of course.

My opinion on the subject:

Those of us with dogs have a fenced in yard thus allowing us to let them out

Do you leave the crap in your yard?

Yep. They have their own area back there that's separate from the rest of the

It’s a great lifestyle move, I lost 5lbs in the first week I owned the dog

That’s a strange dog. There’s a fix for these issues - don’t get a weird dog

Currently dog-sitting. We're on day 9 of 10 and it blows. I'm not a dog person

After a while you won’t want to put it down over a $500 vet bill.

So kind of like your kids. They grow on you.

I understand the appeal of dogs big time. But yes those are valid concerns.

I have 2 dogs and nothing you stated is accurate in my case. My dogs take me out

Yeah, I feel like a terrible person when people talk about pets. I feel no

I love dogs, but I can't have one. I tried a silky terrier puppy for four months

Don't do it! It's like having another child, only this one never grows up.

Its a dog. Dont worry about it. Id shop around. Can probably do better than $500

We not only bought insurance, but the Wellness coverage for at least the first year (covers checkups and shots).

That depends on where you get your dog.
