as someone who is lovingly spending every night on the couch, caring for an epileptic senior dog, I hope like hell your daughter grows up. Dogs are a tremendous responsibility and expense. I have three. I wouldn't trade them for all the gold in the world. But I've slept an average of 4 hours a night for two weeks, getting up to comfort my dog or take him potty in 15 degree weather.

Good luck to the dog.
