For those of you who are currently in college,& have dogs, I have some questions for you!
How much of you're extra time do you to taking care of your dogs?
Are your dogs "coping" fine?
Are you in any sports?
Where do you currenetly live,& how's that working out?
Anything else?
I was just one of those people who's believed that having a dog is a not a good idea. I still believe that [not nearly as much], more for myself then anything. I've just always been concerned that I wouldn't have the time to fully commit to a dog, especially since I'll be going to work. Another reason why, was financially. I felt as if I wouldn't be able to support a dog,& that it'd just lead to bad, unecessary things, that could of been prevent. Knowing that there are people here who have dogs in college,& that their(your) dogs are thriving is such relieve.
Basically, I just want to be able to commit as much as I can to my first dog, not only money-wise, but in training, exercise, time, most importantly love! If it means all these requirements can be meant, then I'll certainly consider getting a dog in college. Waiting at least for to six more years for a dog is just toture.
**NOTE: As of currently, I'm not sure what my breed will be my Nextdog. Don't think that will affect answers much, but I could see how it could. Another thing, I know everyone's siuation is unique, so what might have worked fit your, might not work for. Which I'm totally ok with. **
