Owning a Dog
Pros
To start, dogs can be great company. They love to cuddle and will always be loyal to you. They are also very cute, and wear most clothes you put on them. Also, they are very good companions for kids, as the article “11 Pros and Cons to Owning a Dog” says. “If raised right, every dog can grow up to be kid-friendly”. Lastly, they love to play. If you like to exercise, dogs will be great for you.
Cons
Dogs need lots of training to be obedient. If you can’t get your dog to do basic commands like “sit” and “stay”, then you’re in big trouble. Also, dogs need to be potty trained as soon as possible. Next, they also are very expensive. You want to get a pair of new shoes? Well, your dog needs shots. Guess you can’t buy them! Third, dogs need lots of exercise. If you have to work all day, then they can’t really get the exercise they need.
So, overall, dogs can be great pets to have as companions, and they’ll love you all the time, but they need lots of training, exercise, and money if you want a happy pup. So if you’re considering getting a dog, be sure to think of the pros and cons.

I liked your blog very much. I like dogs but I wouldnt want one because of my cat. How long did this take?
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog. It was amazing. I have a dog and I know you have a dog. Dogs can be difficult but they're just the cutest things. Are you and your dog good buddies? PS: Your dog's name is Tek, right.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliments! I agree, dogs are really cute. Also, my dogs name is Tek, and he is really good, but my mom is his favorite to be with.
DeleteI really liked your blog. I Like dogs but I cant have one as a pet because of my cat. Do you have a pet?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm sorry you can't get a dog, they're really fun. I do know that cats and dogs will sometimes get along, or just stay out of each other's way. And I have pets, two cats and a dog.
DeleteThis was a very interesting blog to read! I loved your joke about the shoes. I think getting a dog is a great idea, but maybe not a puppy. I'd rather get a fully grown dog that is potty trained.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I'd rather have a dog that is potty trained, but having them as a puppy is the best because they'll know and love you for all of their life. Also, thank you for the feedback.
DeleteKiwi Blogger I really like the way you showcased the pros and cons of having a dog. I was wondering when did you get your first dog.
ReplyDeleteI myself have a dog and i raised it at 1 1/2 months old so it was a puppy. i would chose puppys over cats
