10 Pros And Cons All Dog Owners Have Experienced
Helena Lopes

I have always wanted to own a dog because there are so many good reasons to get one. Nevertheless, when I finally got my dog, I realized that not everything is perfect. However, I would still not change a thing. So, here is a list of the pros and cons of having a dog.

1. Your most loyal friend

2. Having to clean up...Poop


Yup! Poop and any other disaster they make. The bigger your dog the more it poops...oops!

3. They are always happy


Imagine having a long day and getting home to see your dog jumping all around because he/she is so happy to see you.

4. Having long walks

Yes, thanks to them you get to do some exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature.

5. Training

You really have to put in some time if you want them to learn how to behave.

6. You get to play dress-up

I know that not all dogs like to wear clothes, but when they do, they look so cute.

7. Taking care of them

You know it is not easy to keep up with all the things that your dog needs--for example, grooming, vaccinations, training, and feeding them appropriately.

8. Companionship

They are always there for you, specially when you need them the most.

9. They constantly want attention

They really do not like to be alone.

10. They need space

If your house is small or have any more pets, then this may be a problem.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
