I rewarded myself for maintaining a 4.0 by getting my Yorkie and Miniature Schnauzer.. I know I'm a shameless bragger, my GPA went down slightly after getting them so...I've one Yorkie, my Elvie-roo and one Yorkie mix a Schnorkie, my Scoober. I took my dogs to work when I worked, and I'm currently taking classes through the online division of my school, not sure they'll attend class with me next semester in a traditional classroom as even hypoallergenic dogs can irritate allergies of those whom are allergic to dogs, and they'd be so distracting-Elvis could hang in a carrier, but not Scoobers LOL.
How do I manage...hmmmmmm I actually used Schnorkie genetics for a 'real life matrix' project. I take walk breaks between homework and class or to counteract writers block. I play fetch while typing to keep myself from getting all wrapped up in what I'm doing-it's relaxing to me to toss a ball and then type the next sentence, not over focusing on anything. Honestly I found that with more responsibility I had, I had to actually commit myself to creating a schedule, thus I'm more organized and more productive since I have more to do...I've always found it harder to balance my children's school (no dogs allowed period) activities with my dogs rather than my own, of course their private sports activities (like city leagues) everyone knows Elvis, he goes to all the practices and games with me.
If I didn't have an extremely flexible schedule or one that I actually have almost complete control over, I might have waited to get all of my dogs. I got dogs that have anticipated life spans of 15-20 years and that require a high maintenance schedule for grooming and attention-I actually did wait over 5 years for one of them, and over 3 for another for the time to be right for me to get them.
