[nagdu] conflicting feelings

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Larry,
I feel as yourmother-in-law does only I feel the same about dogs, I like them, but am also glad I don't have the full-time care of one.
The difference between kids and dogs is kids grow up, so the type of care changes, both physically and emotionally.  That's not true of dogs, at least not on the emotional level and only in extreme cases on the physical level.
Plus, you can't decide that a child isn't right for you anymore whereas you can with a dog.

I am of the feeling that getting a dog is sort of like getting a kid.  If
you really like dogs then the care of them is really not much of a big deal.
If you just sort of like them then there care can be probblematic.  My
Mother-In-Law says shes glad she doesn't have to raise kids anymore.  She
still loves them but now that she has grand kids they can visit and go back
to there Mommies and Daddies.  With a dog, the best way to get the most
quality work out of it is to always use it.  Thinking about it is really
great though.  At least, you're thinking before you get the dog instead of
after!
