Owning a dog is a very big responsibility; It is like having your very own child. Prior to getting one of your own, you should make sure that you will be able to deal with it. I don’t want to scare you away from dogs, they are phenomenal pets. Man’s best friend is less than accurate when talking about a dog. However, they require care and attention. Dogs are also expensive. You have to think about dog food, grooming, health, and possible training. In San Diego Dog Training can cost five hundred dollars for a two week session and in San Diego Puppy Training is even more expensive. Keep in mind, the friendship with your dog far balances out any money it costs you.
Owning a dog is a world wide enjoyment. They act like best friends, but even more reliable. A good relationship between the dog and owner is be stronger than human bonds. Your dog will always greets you when you come home from work or wake up with the unaltered enthusiasm. A dog is my favorite shoulder to cry on as well. No dog will leave you when you feeling down; in fact, they are more likely to pull you out of it. Dogs provide the perfect date for an evening picnic as well. I will never regret the priceless memories I have of my dogs and I playing Frisbee on a beach or at the park. Though they don’t seem like a big deal, you will cherish these memories later in life.
Dogs are fun, but they cost a good deal of money. Owning a dog is like having a child, you have to pay for its health, food and education in some way. Now, a dog doesn’t need thousands of dollars in college money like a child, more like hundreds. Getting a dog trained is important, and will probably cost anywhere from three to five hundred dollars. Another cost that comes with owning a dog is boarding. If you take a vacation, you will need to find a dog sitter or set your dog up at the kennel. At the lowest price, this will cost about twenty dollars a night. Don’t forget about the costs of veterinarian services, grooming or food!
In addition to costing money, Dogs require time. They are more demanding than pets like hermit crabs or fish,who are satisfied when you throw food in their cage. Dogs require nurturing and love. Dogs need to be walked at least once a week and played with. Providing a dog with the attention it needs is by no means hard, as long as you tray. They are easy to please, as long as they’re being loved. Dogs are perfectly happy with a crummy beat up shoe or tennis ball to play with, as long as they get your attention.
When you buy a dog, you take on a huge responsibility. But with this responsibility comes great opportunities! By extending a little money, love and time, you get in return infinite love, gratitude and a new best friend. Dogs are the most dependable and gracious friends you will ever have. It seems like a fair trade to spend some money and time on them for such a great friend in return.
