I really want to get a dog, but I see how their passing affects people, and not sure I want to go through that. Is it worth it?

Yeah you could get a dog and then have to pay for food, make sure it cannot easily Escape the yard where it could attack someone, have to pay extra for your homeowners insurance, have your stuff torn up, have to clean up after it goes to the bathroom, pay for Veterinary bills, have to worry about animals sitting if you want to go somewhere, maybe deal with neighbor complains if the dog is noisy, and the list goes on and on.

Do you really want to put up with all that?
@Punches Been there (many times over), done that—it’s still worth it!

I currently own 5–all rescues!

@Punches The other side of the coin! I have thought about those things.

@KunsanVeteran probably a bunch of variations of pitbulls. Am I right?
@Punches Did you really mean to address this to me? No. I have never had a pit bull. I have had German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, a bunch of small dogs, Labradors, blood hounds, and a couple retired Military Working Dogs. Right now I have 5–two Rot-Labs, a Black Lab, a Brindle Mississippi Black Mouth Cur, and a a small mix.

@KunsanVeteran Usually when people have this kennel of dogs it is a bunch of those pit bulls.
@Punches No, not at all for me. I love dogs that will return that love. We feed off each other. We take long walks with each other and I say soothing things to them. Each dog has his or hers own personality. Each needs love but gives back so much more.
