Getting a dog isn't a gift. It's a responsibility. But who's to say who benefits more? For in learning to care for a sentient being...we grow up. So: please rescue, vs. buying from a breeder or pet shop. You can adopt any breed. And millions of pets are killed, every year.

"Think of it as a stew. When my hubby makes his delicious chili or shrimp creole, I know it will be richer, spicier, and all-around more delish the next day. After resting in the fridge. Rest = the magic."

Adopting a dog is a daily commitment, and can be costly (forget plastic toys or cute sweaters, invest in training, checkups, and not-plastic-filled dog beds). If your dog is acting out, that's on us. They need more activity, then training, then affection. ~ @waylonlewis 

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And You are the one who'll decide where to go..." ~ Dr. Seuss
