[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't use the word "hassle" OP, I tend to use the word "responsibility" instead...Though I do have my moments when I am a hyprcrite!! Pets are like our kids, they give us that sweet unconditional love we crave, they depend on us for all of their needs, yet at the same time they can drive us crazy at the drop of a hat and sometimes there is no outlet at all for our stress!!!! But we can never give them up...They become part of our family overnight!!! I say take the plunge, esp. if your child wants one. Growing up with a pet can be a huge benefit to your child as it can teach her responsibility as well as give her many solid childhood memories to look back on as I have now with my beloved dog who I had practically my whole childhood. And I hate to get all political here, but please consider adopting from a shelter vs. purchasing from a breeder. There are many lovable dogs in shelters just waiting for a loving and forever home and would love to become a member of your family. They are not damaged goods and do not deserve to be put down just because there are not enough people available to adopt them. :([/quote]
