[nagdu] Why, or why not?

Hi Dan, well, dogs are beings, so you can't just leave them alone 
and forget about them.  Dogs throw up, have diarrhea, won't park 
sometimes when you want or need them to because you're going to 
be on a long plane flight; ideally, (although I know this doesn't 
happen) dogs should get some work almost every day, and it's 
sometimes snowing, raining, 100 degrees, and you can't get out, 
dogs get into things they aren't supposed to, when you go out in 
public, people pay more attention to the dog than you, no matter 
what, almost every day someone will stop you and want to ask a 
question, pet your dog, or whatever.  Let's see, dogs sometimes 
have to go to the vet and that's expensive.  Sometimes they need 
to go to the groomer and that's expensive.  You have to buy dog 
food, and there's all of that decision-making about what kind of 
food to get, etc.: Sometimes friends don't want to give you 
rides, or taxis will not pick you up, etc.  I can't think of 
anymore stuff right now.  Lol.  Is that enough? (Grinning).
