10. Dogs are expensive and demanding

I'm a cat person, adopted my dog Milo 6 years ago.
I love him, but he needs walks and attention, and sometimes I'm not in the mood.

It's good he gets me out for a walk.
Many shelters have programs where you walk the dogs. Maybe you could do that. And you could foster a dog which would let you have one short term til you decide you want one. It's a big commitment.

Can you volunteer to help at the pound? Would they let you do some light smoozing with the dogs. Srkdqltr Nov 2024 #9
