I grew up around furry, four-legged family members. However, they can definitely make life pretty "ruff" sometimes. But, personally, I think the gains are worth it.
Things you lose when you get a dog:
1. Personal space.
2. A clean house.
3. Space on your camera roll.
4. Sleeping in.
5. A nice, poop-free backyard.
6. Going out in black or white clothes.
7. Spontaneous vacations.
8. Leftover hamburgers after a BBQ.
9. Eating bacon without two extra eyes looking up at you.
10. Peeing or pooping in privacy.
11. Getting the whole bed to yourself.
12. Enjoying fireworks on the 4th of July.
13. Excess money in your bank account.
