[quote=Anonymous]Imagine how much time and money you think you'll devote to the dog. And double it. Dogs, especially at first, are SO MUCH WORK. It's like learning the routine of a new baby-- is it potty trained? Can it make it through the night? How does it do with other kids/dogs/animals? Can it eat the first food you give it or does it need special stuff? Are you prepared to buy new shoes when it eats yours, and buy new dog toys because it doesn't like the initial batch you bought? That's not to dissuade you-- we love having a dog. But it's so much more work than just walking it a few times a day and giving it food. It's having another living being in the house whose needs must be considered. Good luck![/quote]
