I love dogs. I've always had dogs. I enjoy their company and their affection and their sweet, enthusiastic greetings when you come home. What I don't like is when they get sick. Cause it's always messy.
I won't get into gross details. But I suspect my Freckle-dog (his nickname, his real name is just Freckles) is not a happy camper now that I switched him to a different brand of senior wet food. I'll give it a few more days before I get really worried.
But the main reason for this post is that I've read a lot of different posts on Vox from people thinking about getting a dog, doing some research on breeds, and tips on how to convince a signifcant other to take the plunge. Do it. Do the research. Take on the responsibility. It comes back to you ten fold.
I didn't want Freckles. I didn't want a dog. I lived in an apartment in California. But a friend of a friend told me about this dire situation that included an 8 year old cocker spaniel and the dog lover in me could not say no. I met the stinky, unhealthy, sad little dog and he quickly became a focal point of my life.
I think that having a dog is a lot like having a kid (or so I hear). It sucks sometimes. You have to pick up their poop and predict what they need and not leave them alone for extended periods of time. But those moments where they are being really cute or when they are really sick and need you - those are what count.
