[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate. We have two dogs that I don't particularly care for.  DH and the kids wanted them, so I gave in while I SAH.  I started working again about a year later & DH travels all the time so on top of basically being a single mother 75% of the time, I have two dogs to take care of.  I'm also annoyed with the hair on the furniture, the need to constantly vacuum, the barking when they see a squirrel or something walk by the window, etc.  I've tried to be a dog person, but I'm not.  [b]People think you're a horrible person if you don't love dogs. [/b] It's not like I abuse them or anything, I'm just not a fan and feel like they make my quality of life worse, not better.[/quote]

No, I don't think people are horrible if they don't love dogs.  I think people are horrible if they own dogs and don't love them.  There's a difference.

When you adopt or acquire a dog, it's a commitment.  If you aren't willing to at least like the dog, don't get one.  [/quote]

I disagree.  When you acquire a dog, it's a commitment to take care of it.  Your feelings for it are incidental as long as the dog is well cared for.  Dogs do not sense how much they are loved.  They sense if they're hungry, covered in fleas, need to go out and pee.[/quote]
