I will elaborate more in the replies, just be nice.
Tldr… I hate how one of the most common advice you receive as a loner without social life or a partner is to get a dog. I’m taking care of a dog for a while now as a favour, since I’m unemployed and have “nothing to do” (my brother went to his gf beach holiday house for the summer with her, his daughter, my younger siblings and my mom, couldn’t take the dog, it’s old) and I’m miserable, I HATE this. I don’t wanna have to deal with any animal after this.
I get this. My in-laws have a yappy little dog that has no redeeming qualities. Zero. Before I met that critter I thought I might own a dog one day.
spend some time with a well trained doodle. its apples and oranges. i think the little ones have serious psychological issues.
dude you can’t judge all dogs by tiny yappy little bullshit dogs
hang out with some labs or goldens
