[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you own a dog, OP?[/quote]

No, I am smart enough to know I don't have the time or energy for a dog at this stage in my life. I might get a dog when I retire and have time walk it frequently and can devote hours of my life to training. I like dogs (and pets in general, I have a cat right now) and it is my love of animals that makes me thoughtful about whether or not I take on the responsibility of owning one.

This seems to be an increasingly rare position.[/quote]

I think that in general people are just selfish and only think of their immediate needs and wants. They adopt the cute little puppy without thinking of that dog and it's needs as it grows. They look at a cute breed and decide that want that look without considering the temperament, energy levels and habit of that breed. You see this a lot with people who get herding breeds only to then look to rehome their 1 yr old dog because they don't didn't realize these dogs need a lot of exercise, stimulation and don't do well left home alone all day.

I am like OP. I love dogs and would love to have one, but I also know that at this time in my life I don't have the time. So instead I volunteer with a local rescue. [/quote]
