How Getting a Dog Changed Tim Ferriss's Life

Didn’t listen but I like dogs but would never want one. They are a lot of work. I’m too lazy to want one.
Had one as a kid. We got one when I turned 40. Corky 1
At that age it's a personal trainer. Walk me
Getting a dog changes everybody's life. Typically it's for the better. Dogs are better than people.
We somehow wound up with my kid's dog when he moved out of the house. And as if that wasn't enough, my wife is going to pick out a lab puppy this weekend.
I'm fucked - I can see it now.

I can’t imagine not having a dog.
Mrs Throbber v2.0 claims to hate dogs - but she’s brought 5 of them home for me over the last 10 years or so.
Mrs. Throbber v1.0 got rid of the only one she ever allowed in the house.

When our first dog died it was so painful that we agreed never again. 30 days later we got Corky 2
My wife once again claims this is the last one

Didn't want a dog because I know I'm a soft piece of shit that would be owned by one. My wife wanted one, so it happened. And I was a soft piece of shit that is owned by my wife's[/s] my dog.
At least she's smart. Since she's 12 and declining rapidly, we thought it best to get a puppy for the kids while there would be a little overlap for training purposes. New puppy is dumber than square wheels. It's just not the same.

Love dogs. Love freedom and money more.
May still end up getting one, because ultimately I hate money and freedom at the same time.

The freedom part is big. Gotta let my dog out, can’t stay late, gotta bring my dog, gotta find someone to watch my dog, gotta make sure this place is dog friendly, etc. A puppy is more work than an infant human.

It’s been nearly a year since I had to put down my best friend. First and only dog. Quite honestly, I’m not sure I’ll ever get another. The pain of losing him was too much, and the freedom without him has been too great.

Let's not start another dead dog thread.

It may not be time yet but get another one. NOTHING loves their human like a good dog.
It is good for our soul to be loved unconditionally. And so far, dogs are the only creature I've encountered who can do that.
You're not finding Hardcore Husky to be chock full of unconditional love?
Such quid pro quo, D
