Omigosh that dog is getting it's hair highlighted.
That's awesome! I didn't even know you could do that!
The article brings up a really good point about people holding off to get dogs until they're ready. Having one dog presents some serious convenience difficulties at times. Having two+ is a total game changer. You have to start dealing with finding a place that will allow two pets (if you're renting), double the cost of freaking everything, finding someone you trust to watch them when you want to go somewhere (1, ok, 2........) and the difficulty of controlling both those animals - especially when they are excited and/or misbehaving. It can be a little overwhelming. I think it's cool that people are considering that before getting a pet.
I would love to adopt all the dogs and cats that I see posted around town but I just wouldn't be able to take good care of them
And man, puppies and kittens are so freaking cute and fun. I would be elated to have a basket full of them......for about an hour, then when the work sets in or I get tired or pressed for time, it would be a whole different story.
