Hello, everyone. While writing this article, we do not have electricity. The electricity is out for an hour now. This is the cons of having a really bad storm. Also, if we do not have electricity, we do not have water. We do not have a choice but to wait for it to be running again.

Thank you, sponsors!

In today’s article, I will be discussing something that I am contemplating for so long now. I always want to have a small dog. Though, we have two dogs but they are too big and want to just roam around the house. I want a small dog that I can carry or take to my bed. I do not mean that I do not equally love or our pets. It is just my preference to have another pet. 

But being a fur parent is not easy. I am thinking back and forth if I should be one. Here is my list why I am not getting a pet for now. 

1) The expenses of owning a dog.

Dogs are living things and so, you have to shell out money to keep them happy and healthy. As of right now I am a freelancer and shelling out money means I have to work harder. I do not want to keep a pet and then feeling guilty if anything bad happens. I should be saving for the food, medicines, grooming, and other necessities. 

2) The responsibility of being a fur mom.

Having a pet is almost like having a child. Everything that your child’s problem is also you problem. I am not a person with a long patience and so, I might have hiccups a long the way. It is not like a stuffed toy that you will leave. It is also tiring being pets do mistakes. They might pee accidentally in your rugs. Disciplining them requires patience and so, I do not know if I can take this responsibility.


3) Furs will be everywhere.

The dog that I want is suppose to have a lot of fur. I want the fur to be soft and fluffy. I expected the room to be filled with fur and so, to clean this, I have to have an extra time and exert effort in cleaning. It is annoying to see a fur in the bed after a long tiring day, isn’t? It might cause allergies and red patches in my face. I do not do well in allergies. Also, I might inhale those and might cause a bigger problem. 

4) You have to be ready in case of emergencies.

Again, as I said, having a pet is like having a child. There will be times that the dog might have an accident or is terribly ill. As a fur parent, you must take your pet to the vet clinic for checkups, operations, etc. This is what  I do not like to experience if ever I have the chance to have a pet. It will be a torture to see your pet to get sick or in an operation. 

5) To teach discipline.

This is part of the responsibility. I do not like a dog that bites everything or pee everywhere. This is my child and so, it is my responsibility to discipline my dog. This will take a lot of knowledge and a lot of patience. Also, I want my dog to learn some tricks like sit, spin, and play dead hehe!

Final Thoughts

Owning a pet is never easy but rewarding. I always watch YouTube videos of cute pets. If ever I have one I want, I want a shiba inu or a pomeranian. There is no wrong in having or owning a dog with breed. For me they are equally loved as the aspins. Aspins are very smart breed, I tell you that. At this point, I am still contemplating if I want to own a pet hehe. 

Thank you for reading my article. Peace- Jijisaur.

First, like people, pets need food that meets their specific nutritional needs. Dog foods are designed to meet the nutritional needs of dogs, and cat foods are designed to meet the nutritional needs of cats. Also, don't forget about treatment, for example, I use CBD for dogs, a harmless product and very useful for my pet, but in small doses.

I also love to take care of pets especially dogs since they are adorable and clingy, I have a Shi Tzu here at the house, and she's so clingy but sometimes she gonna rampage on plants that's why I always scold her and sometimes punish her by putting her in a cage, still, she's so loving and likes to scratch her belly.

That's right. The person should be responsible on what ever the dog will do because in the first place, dogs do not know what they are doing. A good owner will discipline his dog.
