My Gay Life

I have been debating about getting a dog for about the last year. Living alone and working from home are not the greatest means of getting companionship and having a dog would be really nice. However, on the other hand I am not sure I want the responsibility of having a dog. I also have never had a real pet, even when I was young, so I have no experience in taking care of a dog.

I am not sure that I want to take on the financial responsibility of dog food, vet bills, and dog toys. I like my current lifestyle and want to be able to take a spur of the moment trip without having to worry about being home by a certain time to let the dog out or feed the dog. I really do not want to have to clean up the dog’s messes. And I really like being able to sleep in on the weekends.

However, despite all of the down sides having a dog would provide a great friend and companionship. Not to mention that dogs are chick and guy magnets at the park.

What are your thoughts? Do you have a dog? Is it worth it?
