Re: Dogs
(Anonymous) 2013-05-20 04:51 am (UTC)(link)except that at some point you can just talk and reason with the child once they're older :V
what I mean, is that the dog will need to learn over the course of months where to pee, where to poo, how to behave, boundaries (don't climb the bed, don't bite the furniture) not to bite people or other animals, how to go on walks, etc.
also they get sick, so be ready for emergency vet visits/calls/house-visits, to clean up vomit, diarrhea, plus cost of vaccines and those things for parasites
also also, if you get a puppy they will bite EVERYTHING as they're teething, and no amount of discipline will make the biting stop (it will help make it decrease, but not disappear until the teeth have finished growing/coming out), so get anything you don't want bitten (shoes, carpets, clothes, furniture, electrical cables, EVERYTHING) either out of the way or super well covered so they're out of reach
also, expect the dog to sometimes bump into things, so don't leave precariously perched or hanging objects that might fall and break or hurt the dog
and that's not even getting into the whole "feeding them, bathing them, giving them clean water, a sleeping space, pets, playing, affection" side of it, so, yeah, be ready to get into the mindset that you're taking care of another living creature that depends on you for guidance, love and support
Re: Dogs
(Anonymous) 2013-05-20 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)I don't mind any of that! I expect it, like a large version of my sometimes destructive rabbits /resigned but fond sigh
Although I do intend for an older dog because I need to work and would worry way too much about leaving a puppy at home (because small baby animal? It was/is stressful enough with the baby rabbit!)
My biggest concern is am *I* ready? Because I'm probably going to be renting for a long time, maybe forever! I have no desire to move anytime soon, but is it okay to get a dog in that kind of situation?
Then I worry about what happens if my job fails me or something :C
Re: Dogs
(Anonymous) 2013-05-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)good!
well, in that case, it totally depends on the owners of the place you are renting, and how open they would be to a dog (well, if they let your rabbit in, they are probably okay with animals?), run the idea by them, just in case
i don't know about your money situation, but is it possible to save some money so that in case things go wrong you could support yourself and your pets long enough to find another job?
