    I think a lot of people got dogs without thinking it through during the pandemic. I love my husky to death but taking care of her’s a big commitment.

      My (now ex) wife and daughter got ours during the pandemic too. I ended up doing like 95% of the work with her, but I did end up doing the classic ‘dad who didn’t want the dog ends up loving it the most’. I still do not like puppies, other than for a few minutes. They are so annoying most of the time.

        Puppies are absolutely great in ten minute bursts. Ten minutes of adorable a day? Fantastic. 24 hours of adorable? Oodles of pain.

      I don’t know if it’s just the oversight. Online at least, it seems that obnoxious dog owners outweighs obnoxious cat owners. Like whenever I see some annoying conservative or hippy dippy advocating for stupid “alternative” nonsense, they usually have a dog lol
