I think that is a wonderful article and give a lot of information to think about.
I must say however, that 10 years ago my husband came home from going out "ring" shopping for his friend who wanted to get engaged and instead came home with a beautiful puppy (who we still have). She was the cutest thing.
We both love dogs but never really spoke about getting one. I was glad we did but never thought about all the puppy proofing, the nibbling on furniture, vet expenses, etc.....
Needless to say we kept her and we love her and she is part of our family but to this day, we can not take over night trips or any very long day trip or on vacation without trying to find someone to watch her. I would not change a thing now... BUT if I had to do it over again, there would be a lot to think about .. a lot of information and thought MUST be put into a decision like this.
