Dogs: Real Life Considerations

Dogs. They are cute. Of course! But do you want one forever?*.

*or 15 years, a typical large breed life span.

'of course I do!' you cry, at the blog post, like a village idiot. But are you sure?

Real life considerations are:

No more impromptu anything. One more drink, pudding, work drinks, a trip to that shoe sale... Nope. Buh bye!

No more lounging. Well, without a ball being put on your lap every minute.

No more clean clothes. Pick a dog in the colour you wear most.

Hoovering 3 times a day.

Endless dusting.

Endless expense on vet bills and toys and food and replacing chewed items

Damaged things you love

Poo in your garden

Getting up at 5.45am every single day

Getting up on a hangover

Walking in the rain

Heaving them all muddy into the bath

Slobber on your hands

Wet noses

Claws - no dancing to music!

A smelly car

.........but ultimately- the worry because you love something despite this!!

What did you wish you had known before you bought a dog??
