[quote=Anonymous]OP Do not make this mistake!!! I stipulated control as I succumbed to years and years of pleading. Chose a small dog super cute breed with all the characteristics (we had had a bichon years ago and like in as far as hypoallergenic, social, friendly.) I did not want a dog for all the reasons that have come to pass but my DC had always been huge animal lover. Almost two years in-what I dislike is the constant background level of awareness of the dog’s need (feed, walks, pee breaks.) I personally do very little of it but I’m still managing it. Also: I dislike being chained to a timetable of how long we can be out. Not a huge deal last year but hopefully again soon-huge stress of where dog goes if we travel. Dog is house trained but there’s ‘accidents’ that really are just failures on our part and I dislike knowing my house has been peed in.

My kid is 12 so with an average life of 15+ for this breed I already looking ahead to 5+ years where kid in college and dog here. I don’t hate dogs just have grown to hate being a dog owner. Big big big regret. If I could re-home I would in a heartbeat but DC would be devastated.[/quote]
