Yes, having a dog is work. But so was having your kids or anything else you might be passionate about. But the rewards are endless!
Human nature, a need to love and be loved. First off, dogs give off endorphins that are calming to humans. 2nd, now that the kids are grown, have their own families, people need to have a purpose. Taking care of a dog is like taking care a baby. You love them , feed them , take care of them. You’re mommy and daddy again.
Plus, giving a dog a living home is such a feel good feeling.
Love my fur babies!!!
