[quote=Anonymous]Dear lord! Don’t get a dog! Biggest mistake (third biggest) of my life and I’m an animal lover. If you are a dog person and you create your life around them, they are terrific. To add to a busy famiky- think of it as another kid. 
  First daughter wanted- second we have three kids - two full time jobs!!
  First so  expensive- every freakin day trip have to pay someone to come let dog out. Every vacation have to board- 400 bucks for last July 4th vacation.
 Grooming every 6 weeks 80 bucks- shots ( all of them to board) heart worm is like 75 a month.
  Then the dog is carsick so can never go in the family walks and hikes we imagined.
  He’s sweet only to me- bites my kids if they get near his food or socks ( we should have learned more about training)- he takes things and hides them under beds and growls - last night I spent hour trying to coax him out as he has banana under my daughters bed and we needed to take him out to potty. 
  15k for the backyard fence. 
  He’s sweet dog to me and at times to all, but it’s as stressful and as much work as a kid.
 Never ever ever will I get a dog again. 
   We love our dog but hate the amount of work and for rest of us less enjoyment than we anticipated.  
 It’s a Cavachon- so great breed- again, just so much more work than we expected. [/quote]
