[quote=Anonymous]I did not want a dog at all, but my DH wanted one so badly I said OK...and it was a great decision.  I love that dog almost like another child. I've had plenty of other non-canine pets before but none gave back the love like this.  My kids love the dog to pieces and she is great company for them, especially if they are feeling sad about friend trouble etc.  It's interesting because we all feel the same towards the dog, it's almost like she is a baby that we all parent.

I probably would feel a lot differently if I was doing all of the work, and I give DH a lot of credit for what he does.  DH does all the vet stuff, plus buying dog food and supplies.  The kids or I will walk the dog in the neighborhood or let her out in the yard, and DH takes her hiking a couple of times a week. DH feeds her when he is home, and if not the kids or I will do this.  She has short hair and is not smelly, so we don't bathe her frequently, but DH will in the back yard or I'll take her to the pet store for a bath every few months.  Also, we got our dog when she was a puppy, and DH got up with her at night and trained her. [/quote]
