I've never had a dog outside of a family setting. There's considerably less responsibility involved when everyone can share a little. I was in charge of feeding and walking her in the morning, my sister was in charge of feeding her at night, we both needed to clean up the mess in the backyard. Since we had a backyard, Duchess would do all of her business there. She rarely relieved herself when out on a walk, so there was little of that chasing your dog around with a little baggie of their poo scenario that Uncle Phil mentioned. I would also take her on trails.
That is one thing that I would consider getting a dog for again - companionship on trails. Our rabbit isn't very good company on a hike, just another thing to carry most of the time.
