Whoever said dogs were easier than kids never had kids. I announced "NO shoes, food or sweat on the new furniture" and they complied. I'm not thinking that Finn will say "okay mom!"

Dogs are perpetual 2 year olds, they will never grow up & leave the house, they will always need to be cared for, everything centers around them, and odds are you will out live your dog.

Not always, they can make you a blithering idiot worse than kids because they don't understand you.
It goes like this lately:
"Let's go potty! C'mon let's go! (snap, snap). Don't lay there and look at me like that. We've doing this sh*t for two years! It's the same thing every night! Oh, now want to drink a gallon of water? Greaaat! You pee on the carpet it's your ass."

LMAO...see...you need a fenced in yard and a bell. Solves that problem.

He walks over, rings the bell. I open the door and close it but not let it latch. When he comes back he just pushes the door open and since it's on a spring hinge, it closes itself. Easy Peasy.

I'm lazy...I will always find the easy way out of these things.

Except that you can leave your dog in a kennal for a few hours, whereas a child that would be a huge NOPE!

Sold the fenced in yard and the house that sat on it. It's not so bad since they are old and don't do much. A little corrective leash training and he's back in order. They laid around the yard 22 hours out of a day, now they lay in a condo 22 hours out of a day.

Yeah...if I didn't have a husband I wouldn't have a yard. I'm not fond of maintaining outdoor space...it's too much work but he likes that kind of stuff.

The extension of my yard work was mowing. The back yard was strictly for the dogs and the only reason we had a front yard it because it was attached to the back.

Hence the reason we don't live in a house anymore.
