In a study the average cost of keeping a medium size dog, eating only average quality kibble and getting only routine vet care, was about $100 a month. If your dog lives to 14 that's over $16,000 blown with nothing to show for it but pictures. That doesn't include the most common homeowners insurance claim-dog bite. The average settlement in a dog bite case is over $29,000 and the average in a pit bull mauling is over $500,000. A dog bite judgment is typically NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy court. Add in the cost of a destroyed house and yard-the carpeting has been shat and pissed on all over and will have to be replaced-I don't see any manner in which dogs are worth it. Don't forget you'll have to get off your rear and walk you dog briskly at least 30 minutes twice a day no matter what the weather is or how shitty you feel. The dog will be up your ass anyways-most dog people seem to LOVE that but I don't want anyone or anything up my ass all the time.

I LOVED dogs as a kid but while I'm still drawn to some breeds, over time I mellowed into a "dog-liker". I think it was partly from spending a year in Indonesia, where some of us liked dogs but most of us didn't. Those who did knew dogs are animals, not people. <br /><br />I later moved in with a family back in the States. And oh, I love this family. But they've always owned dogs, and I quickly found I wasn't keen on having dogs around me ALL THE TIME. After the close-quarter daily barking and neediness, the glamorization of ownership started to crumble. <br /><br />I did anthropomorphize dogs throughout my teen years, but I didn't like collective anthropomorphism making them more important than other animals, apparently. It felt selfish to me. But this was America, so I felt weirdly censored from voicing my disgruntled attitude. So I convinced myself I still loved dogs to avoid judgment, which is silly looking back, but that's how it went. First Amendment on all but Fido, eh?<br /><br />It's not 100 percent set I'll never have a dog, though getting one would likely be at the behest of my metaphorical future wife. And I'd be very picky about breed, regardless of whether it was hers or mine.Cardinalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-55828574731307598752015-02-15T17:47:51.474-08:002015-02-15T17:47:51.474-08:00If you can't handle the responsibilities of do...If you can't handle the responsibilities of dog ownership, don't have one.

Same goes for dogs belonging to others. Doesn't matter if it's in the front yard, back, or indoors, most bark excessively even after you pass. The city was ten times worse, as every neighborhood was in close quarters so you'd have dog after dog barking when someone or something came by. I came to dread 4PM bar Sundays, as on Sunday you don't get the mail! I took a lot of long walks in the city too, and it was almost a game to see how long before X dog at X house noticed me and started raising the alarm.<br /><br />Seriously, barking is one of the major reasons I'm put off from having my own dog. Neediness is the other big one. You can find a dog that suits your exercise, grooming, space, and people-friendly needs, but every breed barks and every breed demands a lot of daily attention. For me that's more trouble than it's worth, and it very well may stay that way.Cardinalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-88917604048763437292015-02-15T04:31:35.435-08:002015-02-15T04:31:35.435-08:00Yes, that's another one that has gone viral. ...Yes, that's another one that has gone viral.

This isn't the 1600s. There aren't huge open spaces between tiny towns and villages anymore. The Romans had banned chariots riding through the city at night because the rattle of the wheels and the clacking of the horse's hooves against cobblestone would wake everyone up as it passed through. There's an example of action being taken against unnecessary noise. Dogs nowadays are unnecessary noise since everyone is too busy to take care of it. Dogs should be reserved for farms and other open-space workplaces because it gives them something to do and burn off all the energy that they have on running and herding, not barking and howling. Hey, if lawmakers reserved farm animals to be on farms, they should move the dog to the farm animal category as well. It clearly belongs there. It does not belong next door, on the front yard, yowling up a storm, or escaping and eating your child's face. If it does eat some hapless creature's face, kill it immediately.<br /><br />Either way it's sliced, dogs are a huge problem as there are so many breeds and so many idiots willing to defend those breeds because society told them to. What a bunch of sheep. Who here has heard of prey defending a predator? It makes no sense.Pumanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-91570152693286037512015-02-14T23:55:09.625-08:002015-02-14T23:55:09.625-08:00Have you seen this nuisance barking dog story?

I think it should be this way everywhere. How much trouble is it really to get off your ass and shut your dog up or take care of it properly so it's not bored, lonely, under stimulated, under exercised? Have it debarked or put a bark control collar on it? If you're not willing to step up to the plate don't have dog-it's better off without you.
