He Approaches Frivolously And Irresponsibly!

   You are right that when you take responsibility for something, you must make an effort, but first, there is a difference from looking to looking, second, looking after a dog has nothing to do with looking after a child. It is one thing to want regular grooming for a dog from a shelter, it is quite another to want something luxurious for the child. He looked after your friend's dogs, but without taking them to the vet and providing them with luxury, and grooming is a luxury. The problem, as you can guess, is that you are too clinging to the extremes or all or nothing, but you have to find that things cannot happen so that there is a middle ground. Improving a dog's life is a good thing, but you go to illogical extremes, go grooming regularly and look for expensive food for a purebred dog that competes for beauty awards and lives with the rich in a mansion ok, but to be an average statistical person who lives in a 60 square meter dog to be a breed of "street superb" sounds illogical to ask your friend for luxury for the dog. The other thing I don't think you understand is that for a dog, even if it's the most purebred, it doesn't matter if his bed is made of towels or bought just for a dog, whether his bowl will be a dog's or just a bowl and believe me it's a dog. whether it bites an old slipper or a dog toy, and expensive food does not guarantee that it will not get sick. Just as every baby does not care how much the stroller costs, the child will grow in height and kg in the same way, regardless of whether his water bottle is expensive for a famous brand of baby products or a glass bottle of soft drink with a pacifier. . The baby will grow up without any of the baby products in the stores except for quality food. That is, only the food must be of good quality, everything else that is bought is vanity and convenience to the parent. The difference between a dog and a child is that you do not have to provide the dog with quality food, it is good, but not mandatory, but it is mandatory for the baby.

   You get too obsessed, things don't have to be perfect to go.

   Temerut is your friend. Of course, it must be read first. You are not for a dog. It is a great commitment and responsibility. And at 25 it is good to work and think about children. Because this is the age for children. And not after 30, 40 where the chances without medical intervention decrease.

   you have become obsessed with the idea of ​​this dog. you don't have to read that much, it's not nuclear physics after all, it's a dog :-) it's enough to take it to the vet, vaccinate and deworm it. it can also eat from your food, you don't have to spend that much money, and for the grooming I just laughed :-))) leave the ads, it's all business. and you don't work, just your friend, you want to make a lot of money. better find a job, get on your feet and then think of a child

   Bravo was number 3 - iron logic, the dog was a great commitment and responsibility, they were not ready, but look at their children it was time ... These children, right - unlike the dog, are not associated with commitment and responsibility at all ... Author, the costs are for a readable strap and decontamination, if not already done! A bed for a dog is a good idea, but you can actually lay a blanket on the ground - you don't need to incur unnecessary expenses if you are not well financially at the moment. She, the sweetheart, will be happy to just have a home and people to take care of her. Toys also do not need to be bought on the fire, you will always adapt something appropriate, and the animal is not a baby, but is already big. However, your food is a serious feather - the dog eats a lot and giving him your food is an option only from time to time. And canned dogs are not only expensive but also big garbage and chemicals. Learn to cook yourself - the most budget-friendly option is cheap bones or scraps from the butcher's shop and cook them in a large pot with a kilo of rice or oats, for example - so you have food for the dog for two days, but it's time and care ... Just be careful - a dog is not given chicken bones under any circumstances, nor bones small enough to swallow - dogs are not cats, they break and suck the knuckles, swallow them whole and become amazing white for that, best of all a consultation with a veterinarian. Or ask at the shelter how they prepare food wholesale and cheap - they certainly do not invest in luxury cans. Important - potatoes and jam are also not given to a dog and find out from now on who will walk him, when, because these are at least 2 hours a day (morning and evening),

   The main costs for a dog are: 1. Vaccines, deworming - about BGN 300 per year costs me, because I do not use stock exchange prices, but go to my vetoes. In principle, it can be arranged for a lower value. 2. I have accepted the need to have some 200-300 BGN aside - in case of an accident, urgent need for veterinary care - they may not be enough, but it is not known at what point it will boil you and it is important to still have something until you find an option. 3. Food - my dog ​​costs about 500-600 BGN per year. He eats pellets, bone-in beef and sometimes some dog treats. It is! Everything else is a luxury that a dog can do without. Will you buy him a dog rope to pull or will you tie an old garment and knock it; whether you buy him a dog ball or wrap something in rags; whether he will sleep in a dog bed or in an armchair - all this! This, however, what dogs need is LOVE! They love you, they don't want to get the same, but they feel best if you love them too. Therefore, I would not recommend you to take a dog with a person who will not give him these emotions. My father, for example, always said he didn't want any more animals, but he adored every one I brought home and was sad every time I found a home. I'm sure he cried for them sometimes. And most loved him and revolved around him, I remember. Let me note that the fact that a person does not like animals or is not interested in modern ways of raising them does not mean that he will neglect his child. There is such a chance, but it is not necessary. A very good friend of mine doesn't like animals at all, but he is a great father. His wife confirms. He is super literate, he knew what was going on at every stage of the pregnancy, and so on. They have a cat because his wife had taken her before they met, but he doesn't like her at all. Just put up with it. Literally. He won't reach out to pet her, he won't think of pouring her food, etc. He just doesn't like animals that much.

   From the author: Thank you all for the answers. I don't know why there are any people left with the impression that I will make a "mass expense" for the dog, that I want to feed him super expensive food and take him to grooming regularly. Nothing of the kind. I want his things not to be "out of everything", and his food to be at least middle class. I don't want to feed the animal garbage, just as I try not to eat junk food for myself. Regarding grooming, I wanted to take it after we took it, to see what the procedures are and then to assess with my friend how many of them we can do ourselves. But I think we'll get away with it and we'll just bathe him. Otherwise, when it comes to children, we think about them too :) Of course, I want to get married first and then give birth, but above all, my highest priority is finding a job. It is hard, but I believe that this will soon fall into place. Until №7 Thanks for the info :) I think my friend mainly deals with walks, winter in snow and rain makes it difficult for me to get someone in general, not to mention a dog: D Otherwise, it looks like you own a dog? Tell us a little more about him?

   You take things seriously, but that's not a bad thing. You are ready for a dog, but the person next to you is irresponsible and stupid. If you are sure that you love him, keep trying, if not - find another friend - smarter and more responsible. One girl
