If you feel like the person on that blog, I would never get a dog again. That person's complaints come with buying a dog. She hates the dog for acting like a dog.

I've stepped in crap - barefoot - in amounts of times that are in the double digits. I've cleaned puke, crap, and pee off of the rug hundreds of times. Sometimes it was even in my bed, or a couple of times on me. I've been bitten several times on the hand (and it's my fault - he's a dog - I let myself get bit). I don't complain at all - I would do it all over again if I could, and will own dogs for my entire life.

I wish, instead of buying a dog and then giving it up, these people would just realize that they should never get a dog. If you don't want something that barks, pees everywhere, and wakes you up at night, don't buy a dog.
