[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing I would do here is put him in charge of daily dog walks for a long time, along with other basics of puppy care - feeding, playtime, etc. I just replaced a coffee table and couch (that were new when we got our dog) 8 years after she took huge chunks out of the table and ate the underside of the couch (why, I'll never know!) This is in addition to numerous ruined pillows, walls, toys, etc. [/quote] Yes, this. It's a mistake to focus on the financial aspect of things -- as though the important consequence of irresponsibility is that it is expensive. It's not OK to be irresponsible just because you can pay for the damage. Think of every spoiled rich kid, ever.[/quote]
