It is wonderful thing to own a dog...but it is big responsibility as I see, with my older neighbors.

Vets, grooming, nourishing "real" food and dogwalkers, when you are not up to taking your dog outdoors.

They do need lots of patience to become good citizens.

Dogs require "clothes" & toys, supplements & medication.

I tease my BF saying the only thing "Corkie" her doggy doesn't require is college tuition. LOL!
