Good Reasons why you should get a Dog
Before
you proceed I would like to mention that although this page
is
a humorous page buying or getting a dog is a serious matter.
It
must not be taken lightly.
So
many dogs are neglected after the first few months.
They
are living creatures with feelings and emotions just like you or I.
They
require a great deal of love and care and in most
cases
a lot of hard work.
Many
breeds require a good deal of exercise so if you are
planning
to get a dog check the various breeds
to
find one that fits your circumstances.
For
example a Black Lab is not a very happy dog if it is living in
a
city and can't get to run and fetch everyday.
A
Dalmatian on the other hand is quite content to sit and look pretty
but
for their first few years requires a lot of exercise.
Many
people with this breed have given up on the dog because it
was
not behaving properly but if the dog has not received his daily
exercise
he will be somewhat frustrated and show it in his behavior.
There
are many breeds that require less exercise and should be
considered
by anyone living in a urban area.
Some
people feel that a professional training program
will
solve any problems that a dog has.
Although
these programs are very useful in most cases nothing will
replace
the tender loving care that you give your dog.
And
PLEASE don't allow your dog to bark and disturb your neighbors.
Some
people will leave their dogs untended for extended periods of time
and
the dog will get lonely and frustrated.
This
usual causes them to bark.
They
are just trying to get the attention they need but this can
cause
a great deal of problems in any neighborhood.
Please have your dog spayed or neutered.
Now to the fun part.

you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your
feet
and
whom you can push off if he snores

If

But,
on the other hand, If you want someone who will never come when you call,
ignores
you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place,
walks
all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat
and
sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness.
Then my friend,
Get a cat!
But
if you buy a dog and love it and care for it
you
will end up with a very happy !!! PUPPY !!!
