Good enough for a dog?

So this year a lot of people are thinking about getting a pet for Christmas, not just any ordinary pet but a dog! Although first you have to find out "Am I good enough for a dog?" Well let me tell you, I have had many dogs so I know the hard things you have to do and the fun things you have to do for the dog.

Big dog
- You should be able to walk the dogs for 30-45 minutes a day
- You should spend at least 2 hours (Not including walking time) With your dog
- Be able to feed it a proper amount (At least 2-3 bowls) A day
- You should have a big yard, that is completely fenced in
- You should have enough money for proper health care and flea medication
- Its nice to have two dogs so they can entertain one another when your not there
-You should get him/her play toys
-A dog will always want your attention so be willing to give him/her attention
-You have got to be able to train it
-You must have lots of patience for your dog
-You should be able to get a collar with a name tag in case it ever runs off
-Make sure you are not allergic to the dog before you get one, just in case you have to return or give it away
-When you are upset with your pet DO NOT hurt it in anyway!

Small dog
-You shouldn't dress your dog up if they do not like it
-You should get the proper food for him/her
-You should get him/her play toys
-You should walk or put the dog outside to play for at least 10-20 minutes
-You should be able to let your dog out when needed
-Do not over react when your dog does something bad, ie uses the restroom in your house, or chew up your nice pair of shoes
-You should be able to get a collar with a name tag in case it ever runs off
-Be ready and willing to clean up a mess your dog made, because a mess happens everyday
-Always clean up after your dogs because they could harm humans with diseases
-Keep your dogs claws clipped
-Do not allow biting, if you do they will think it is okay

I hope this helps you out with finding out if you should get a dog this year or later in the years!
