Guys, Heidi got a dog even though we're all going to be gone from the apartment for at least 8 hours in a day. Thoughts?
UGH. Not a good idea! What kind of dog is it? Dogs need a LOT of attention and exercise. You need to take it on walks a lot, it needs lots of human contact because dogs are social animals, and it's cruel to make it wait more than 8 hours a day to go to the bathroom.
I don't think it's smart to have a pet that requires as much as a dog does in an apartment where you aren't home a lot. Get a more solitary animal, like a cat or something, that doesn't need to go outside or be taken for frequent walks and stuff.
Some dogs can become destructive if they are left alone for long periods of time!
And especially if it's a puppy, it's going to need even more time from you because it needs to be trained and taken for frequent walks so that it learns to go potty outside.

He has to go. Sigh. I'm sad.
I said I would be ok with the pup when I knew that it wasn't a good idea. I was inauthentic in saying so.
(twenty minutes later)
FUCK! I just played with him for all this time and it makes me realize even more how unfair it is to have brought him here!
He's so cute though.
