A Puppy is for life.
I got really annoyed with someone I went to school with today (but of course I held it in to rant passive aggressively on here).
Before she had kids all I saw on Facebook were pictures of her dog and statuses about days out with dog and husband. Today, two children later, she was posting messages about how annoying the poor attention starved dog was being and pondering if anyone would take him off her hands.
Take that dog to the beach then tickle his belly!

Dogs are soooooo much better than rug rats!
You are very right, puppies are for life. I hate when people get dogs without realizing they are making a near 15 year commitment. If you cannot dedicate your time to them, then don’t get one in the first place.
