[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Puppies are the worst.  Why do people not understand this? A puppy is literally having a small child, except you often cannot take it with you, meaning you'll be tied down to within a 30-45 minute drive from your home so that you can let it out every few hours and feed it, or you'll have to pay someone to constantly do it. Then they tear up everything, eat stupid stuff and vomit from it, and take forever to house break.  And heaven forbid if there are behavior issues beyond such as aggression or hyper activity that can be never broken.

Puppies are cute until you actually have to out in the work. Just adopt an adult dog. [/quote]

+1 We've had 3 dogs through the years, 2 of whom were adult rescues. Despite our better judgement, DH and I gave into the kids' whining and got a puppy this spring after our other dog died in the fall. He is cute but the WORST. SO much more work than our adult rescues. Luckily, both DH and I are home for Covid and our kids are teenagers so we had a full court press during the worst part of his puppyhood. He still chews everything when he is bored and has endless amounts of energy, but having had two dogs before, we know that he will calm down around 2 yo (although our old dog didn't really slow down until almost 3). I will never get another puppy. Adopting a 1-2 yo dog is really the way to go. [/quote]
