[quote=Anonymous]I too am a cat person but was guilted into getting a dog. The kids and I loathed that animal. My husband traveled for work so the bulk of care fell on me. I resented taking the dog out to the bathroom, the yapping, chewing, ugh... Like a PP said, it will become a constant source of resentment and argument. A dog is infantilized and will never gain any degree of independence around toileting and entertainment. It will depend on you for literally everything. If you are a dyed in the wool cat person then you will hate having a dog. I wish I had stuck to my guns because I resented the dog and then felt guilty for resenting an innocent animal that was just doing what dogs do. When the dog died I was secretly relieved, then felt guilty about feeling relieved. [/quote]
