She's the worst pit bull ever.

I understand the jackets/raincoats b/c of the weather but some of these other accessories, like 'special' bags to carry them in are just weird to me. It's more about the bag then the dog from what I've seen.

nice dogs especially after racing and then retiring. but their poop is probably huge & I already hate picking it up.....got a 'mini pin.' LOL. People say their breed is mixed with greyhounds.

check online because I have seen people making clothes for greyhounds. But if he doesn't need it, then why buy em.

He's a great dog though his bad habit is waking me up every night around 4am or so. He wears a coat when it's cold but outside of that he goes naked. They do make shoes for them but I see no purpose with those.

From single parents to dogs? Not that much of a deviation now that I think about it.

I don't want my own children. It wouldn't make any sense for me to date someone who has their own.

Also, I really just would not want any part in the drama. I have a stepmother and stepbrother. Never liked either of them and they did not like me. The latter, I haven't even seen since I was 16 because he got arrested.

There is more than enough drama in my family as it is. I really don't need anymore.

On another note, that's when i'll start having success with women... the day the coyote catches the road runner.

Or is it for financial reasons, because you fear that your significant other would guilt you into helping financially support a kid who is not yours? Or is there some other reason i have not thought of?
it is deal breaker because i want to create my own family and have a legacy.

Way too many people have this delusion where the stepparents will connect with the step kids and everyone will live happily forever. The reality is this rarely happens in all the times I have known blended families. The rate of divorce is higher between childless/parent than any other group and it's because its is difficult to be childless and walk into a ready made family. It's easier when both people have kids since they understand the other but still isn't like what we see on the Brady Bunch where the new step parents love the step kids like they do their own kids. A childless person is risking a lot to marry a parent, from seeing their own money go to help support the other family to their dreams taking a backseat to the other family to dealing with drama they had no role in but get caught up in it. I see no good reason for a childless person to marry a parent except they are desperate and feel they can get no better.
