[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NO.  If you cannot ensure that your dog is being walked once within the time frame when you are gone then no.

I do not see how a pet sitter "is not an option" for you but if you cannot cough up some extra money a month for a walker then do not adopt.[/quote]

Did you see the part where OP is a single parent and WOHM?  I don't know about YOU, PP, but I pay $1700 a month for child care.  Not much left for a sitter even for my children.  I can imagine how a pet sitter can be "not an option" for a person whose budget is different from my own.  Can you?

Then what is such a cash strapped, busy person even doing considering a dog? They cost money: vet visits, food, supplies. Then there is the time investment: walks, play time, etc. Moat dogs cannot simply be crated and left alone for 12 hours, and even if they can, it is still  not right, no matter how people try to convince themselves their dog is "just fine." They're not.

So no, OP< don't get a dog.[/quote]
