[quote=Anonymous]I regretted getting my dog for the first 6 months...and now I can't imagine life without her. If I had to do it over, I would not get a puppy but now that we are out of that phase she is a joy and it's nice to come home every day to someone that is thrilled to see me. Yes, it means I have to come straight home from work, we can't leave the house for the whole day on the weekend unless we do daycare (which we do), there is a lot of fur, slobber, and dog park dust to clean up, and as a giant breed, food and vet bills are expensive. All of the inconveniences are totally worth it because she has turned out to be an amazing family member. We put in a ton of work with training (because who wants an unruly 140-pound beast?) and we looked at her as our "practice child" to get us ready for waking up early, sharing responsibility, etc. I know a dog is not as much work as a kid, but after growing up with dogs, I'd forgotten how much work they can be. Again, totally worth it and I can't believe I ever regretted getting her as much as I did. [/quote]
