Hmmm...I'd have to pick DA because at least they aren't in physical pain and they are happy when not around other dogs. I couldn't stand seeing my dog be in pain from allergies that I may not be able to fix.
Would you rather shave your head or shave your eyebrows
Eyebrows. They grow back quicker and you can pencil them in in the meantime. Sometimes in really cool patterns ala Amanda Palmer from The Dresden Dolls.
Would you rather have your heart dog for only six months or a dog that was only sort of "ok" for 6 years?
WYR be covered in disgusting amounts of cat hair before an important meeting at work or have a few slingers flung upon you by your dog before said meeting?
