Been thinking for a while about getting a dog. Not really a goer right now 'cos I live in an apartment and it just wouldn't be practical, but if/when I move to a house, it could be on the agenda. I've weighed up the pros and cons, there's loads but they boil down to the following:
Pros:
Cons:
Vet bills
I work long hours, would need a 'dog sitter'
Dogs stink
Was still mulling it over until today, when I saw what was and is the deal-breaker.
If you ever need reminding that man's existence on earth is fleeting and ultimately pointless, then surely there's no greater proof than watching a person walk along the road in the cold and rain, walking their dog, carrying a little bag of the dog's freshly-crapped crap. I just cannot ever imagine putting myself through the humiliating ritual of turning-the-bag-inside-out-to-pick-the-shit-up that dog owners do. Bollocks to that.
Pros:
Companionship
Unconditional love from the dog
Dog walking is good exercise
Cons:
Vet bills
I work long hours, would need a 'dog sitter'
