Lol no shit. The number of times I've left the house when I didn’t want to because Mr. Amazing wanted a walk, or was out of food, or to take him for a ride...the number of times I've slept squeezed to the edge of the mattress because Mr. Amazing was asleep in the middle of the bed & I didn’t want to disturb him...the amount of money we've spent for their food, their treats, training... It's all worth it, but the fact remains that all I get i return is being awakened at 6 am by crazy barking because there's a cat across the street and a doggie face smushed into mine when I come home (Mr. Amazing is a genuine hugger--he loves to hug and loves to smush his face into mine/ours). The only "service" they perform for me is making me feel safe walking alone. My dogs aren’t exactly cooking, cleaning, vacuuming, doing laundry, or picking cotton.
