In the Doghouse
Dogs take A LOT of time. If you want to get one, make sure that you can spare an hour a day or more. Properly training the dog is critical, and not something you can do only when you feel like it. The dog will also need exercise every single day. Between walks, training sessions, and general care (bathing, grooming, taking it out to potty, etc.), you can expect at least an hour a day. Also, if you like to travel, remember that you will have to leave the dog behind. Not only is this hard, but you will have to hire someone to come in and take care of it for you. Just things to think about! I hate it when people get a dog on a whim and then never spend time with it, and it ends up lonely, bored, misbehaving, destructive, barking all day, what-have-you. That's just cruel.— December 7, 2011 3:46 p.m.
