    ALL OF THIS. ALL OF THIS. You need to look at the negative sides and see if you're ok with those. Honestly, for me it's easier to have a routine with a dog, and I suck without, but it needs a lot of planning in advance!!! And some adaptation, my hubbie and I bought an RV for our trips and travels... Also, not every dog is for everyone. At this point, I was lucky because I found Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs as my breed, and I understood that I cannot stand dogs that bark too much... I had the confirmation earlier this year when I dog-sitted for a week-end for a friend in a pinch... her lagotto is adorable, BUT BARKS WAY TOO MUCH for my liking XD.

    Problem: Dogs interrupt your hyperfocus ☹ Solution: Make dogs your hyperfocus 😃 People seriously underestimate how much of your day goes to JUST dog things. Especially if you want a relatively well trained, polite dog. It's an every-day 24/7 experience 😬
