[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dogs love unconditionally. For me, that makes it all worth it. But they are like perma-toddlers in many way. They will never feed themselves or go to the bathroom independently. They can stay home alone for a few hours but not for extended periods of time. They require exercise and mental stimulation and vet visits and for some grooming. They are expensive and burdensome and they can be gross and stinky and annoying and if they have to vomit, they don’t even try to make it to the bathroom. But they will love you with ever fiber of their being. Truly. [/quote] This is the best explanation of owning a dog that I have ever read. I would only add one thing and that is that the read your emotions. When we had a family death both dogs instinctively knew and comforted all of us. [/quote]
