That is my logic in refusing to get a dog; money is tight, and once people are attached to a dog they’ll bankrupt themselves paying for medical treatment for it. They are handy for security or emergency rations, but the costs wouldn’t justify keeping one (and we are probably all too lazy to walk it the way we should).
I’m not wealthy but at the point of life I am, a dog is good for my health too - I need to stay active and exercise every day.
And I always look forward to our daily walks, come sun, rain or snow.
Thank you for thinking clearly.Yes,they are family to a lot of people.
If you are not thinking that something catastrophic “could” happen,then you are not really thinking.
