[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP, you could be me! Our dog is small and cuddly, but like Velcro. Though I love him, he is annoying. I am not the caretaker type. I’m happy to help, but having something utterly dependent on me for the next 15 years is deeply frustrating. As you say, the dog’s routine now rules our life and pocketbook. Every vacation is a decision to board or take him, but there are problems with both. Leave him, and it is expensive, he must be bathed afterward, and he’s anxious for a week. Take him, and we pay fees at the hotel, don’t feel completely free to execute our agenda, and deal with his reactions to every frickin’ sound from another room. It is exhausting. I too am the dog’s go-to person, but I wish it was another family member. I think people who crave dogs have excess time on their hands and love to have something that’s totally dependent on them. They love that something NEEDS them, and thus, they believe that they make a difference in the world. As for me, I can find fulfillment in other ways. Constant dependence is irritating and a nuisance to me. [/quote]
