I love dogs but I do not lead a lifestyle suited to caring for one. My parents knew when my brother wanted a dog that they needed to do some things to better take care of a dog. They installed a pet door to allow the dog to go in and out as she wanted, which enabled her to get as much(or as little.. she was lazy most days) exercize as she wanted and also didnt encourage her to use the bathroom inside. They also made an effort to come home on time and help my brother walk the dog. We were young when we got her and even though she was small my mom didnt feel right telling us to just roam the neighborhood alone with her so at least one parent came home ASAP to help. We started getting up earlier too... in order to walk her.. so dogs are a TON of care.. but worth it.
Im with Charlatan I dont like dogs as much as I like my cats.. but they are pretty cool. Theyre a lot of work and I know I couldnt provide for one right so I dont have one. Make sure you can take care of it properly.. thats the biggest issue..
