owning a dog may negatively impact your health, wealth, and career. pets can carry worms and diseases into your home thereby effecting your health. pets can get sick and need extensive medical care at a considerable cost thereby effecting your wealth. pets can have emergencies and caretaking needs that would hinder you from various jobs, thereby effecting your career. but that applies to everyone, regardless of your zodiac sign.
my parents keep telling me that having two male dogs in the same household will cause disharmony in the household. do i have disharmony in the house now that i have two male dogs? sure, they fight every so often. but i'm sure if i had two children of any sex, there will be more "disharmony and fights" in the house than if i had no children and no pets. so i just think this superstition thing is a lot of silliness.
rather than being troubled by superstitions, consider some tangible concerns. what's your schedule right now, can you accomodate the responsibilities of training a new puppy? what's your financial situtation right now, can you accomodate the additional expense of dog ownership? can you line up friends or family to watch your yorkie if you are away for any reason? do you have any pet restrictions where you live? are there responsible breeders in your area from whom you'd consider purchasing a yorkie?
do all the proper research first and don't worry about silly superstitions. |
I'm not worried at all, I just need to find a solution to give my mother a peace of mind so that she stops worrying. She's old and has given me everything she has to offer and she only has one request, that I don't own a dog. I can get anything and adopt any other animal except for a dog ... but guess what, I ONLY want a dog.
I live by myself, own the building, and can support more than 1 dog. Single and aside from work, i have alot of free time. The thing is I need to find a way to convince my mom.
