I wonna get a dog
    #10875088 -

But i havent got sufficient income yet :S

I was thinking if i get a dog it will motivate me, help me make more money.

Should i get 1 now or wait until im financially secure?

Yeah, we might be getting a dog soon too.

I don't know about the motivation to make more money bit though.

Dogs aren't really that expensive to keep, right?

Thing is, i live in a crapy little town, alone - no friends, nothing. And even tho i have family 20 mins away with some animals i am alone in my flat most the time. And that is depressing, in the last 1 month , i only didcoouple of days work here, so yeah, im thinking a dog would help me out :rasta:

Get the dog. The most expensive part will be just buying it initially and if you get it from a shelter it'll only be about $100.

This thread goes in conjunction with this one:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10725866/fpart/2


Oother thing too conisder is that i live in a apartment complex where no pets are allowed :crankey:

And i get monthly inspections :/


So, during the inspection dates i would lock/close the dog in a little room here...

And i wuld also train the dog to crap/pee into a little sandwitch box.

Dont get me wrong, there is a small park near by and i will walk the dog few times every now and that to fill her "running quoata", but i had 2 dogs in the past and im good with annimals - i can train her t crap in a plastic box in my bathroom so i could avoid being seen during the day - walking around with a dog.

But like i said, my parents are against this. I have innsufficient income yet, and if i dont come through in few month time me and the dog are going to end up outside. I'll be fine, but the dog wont ... :S

Don't forget about:

1) taking care of it if it's sick
2) feeding it
3) cleaning your place up
4) fleas

yea my dog was sick for the first 8 months we had it and i had to pay 5 grand in medical bills.. then after 2.5 years of being fine my dog got a tumor that had to be removed asap , $1300 was to be paid within 2 weeks of the finding or my dog would have died.


i would make sure you have an income before buying a dog.

good luck either way

In the worst case scenario i would have to MOVE somewhere too another town where i get employed, and i guess i wont have enough $$$ to rent a full house soo i will have to do ROOM SHARE, and 99% chance they dont allow pets - just like here - but with a alittle luck i might get around it - just like here...

:shrug:

It sucks man, i have monetary problems which arent even my fault - few days ago i acheived something really awesome (in the industry) which would allow me to earn MORE than sufficient income but "that" was taken away from me, and i dont even know what for and why...

Maybe wait till you have a job, and wanting to get the dog will motivate you to get the job? You don't want to run out of money and then not be able to buy him or her food.

Also, I thought most shelters would give the dog away for free? Unfortunately if they aren't adopted they are put down.

Don't forget the cost of vaccinations and spaying/neutering.

You're going to want an initial vet visit and a stool sample for testing.

Always adopt.


Good luck... I know you want one really badly, but realistically, he's not going to help put food on the table and it sounds like you may be struggling to do the same for yourself. :shrug:

i would just wait, it is so hard to try to "get around" not having a dog.

when/if you get caught the dog is the one who will suffer. when he has to get moved around/ giving the dog away because when he might be caught it is either you or the dog and we all know how that goes.

also dog in a shared apt/room is not the way to go and when you do get a job where does the dog go? do you have enough money in the summer to keep the a/c on for the dog because it is hot!!!

there are so many factors that haven't been listed.

i know you want a dog but it sounds best to wait and better yourself first.

BTW here is my girl ANNA when she just woke up :-)
