[quote=Anonymous]Some scenarios to consider: Your kids turn out to be terrible at remembering to do their share of the pet care and act put upon when you remind them. How does that feel? You up for a decade of that? Your kids lose interest in the dog, who wanders around looking for someone to give it attention. Is that appealing to you? The dog needs special medical care or grooming (baths for a skin condition, special expensive food, medicine or injections, surgery costing thousands of dollars). Is that how you want to spend your time and money? Your dog has behavioral problems. It destroys stuff or is reactive to the leash, other dogs, etc. How much property do you want to replace? How much time and money are you willing to spend on trainers? You or your spouse needs to be out of town for extended periods (for work or a sick family member), so all the adult responsibility for the dog falls on you or a hired dog-walker. Is that OK?[/quote]
