Re: Costs of dogs
if ur barely making it now dont get one and especially if it violates your lease then NO...the cost of a dog properly cared for is not cheap. Food, vet bills, care items, toys, treats (100s a year just on the vet bills alone with REQUIRED shots)...it also requires alot of attention almost equal to that of a small child. U cant just go out of town when u feel like it and u will be stuck with the dog for 7+ years thus when your out of college u will have to consider where u are going to live based on the pet u have with u. They are great to have...but the dog u are gettin is large and requires even more care. If the general things u will have to give up and the costs are less of a concern in comparison to wanthing the dog then get it...but realize the commitment alone is a ton.
