Audrey-Belle is a 1 or a 2 she just eats, sleeps and cuddles. The only time I have problems is if she can't go with me (I feel guilty) and she MAY have a pee pee accident if we're gone to long.

I do not find it hard to care for my babies i love it that is what i do best so i would have to say 1



Betty & Micah my love:aimeeyork

I agree with you on that.... cost is around 8

But taking care of my Libbie.... its around 3-4. Shes only almost 3 months. But once shes an adult I'm sure she'll do great! :D

About a 2 for all three of mine.

Sophie is 7 months old today. It is like having a 2 year old toddler in the house again! Constantly watching so she's not chewing, not pesting the cats, not eating bugs, sticks, leaves, plants...you name it. She does require a constant eye when out of her crate. But she is also a lot of fun. My bills are only spay charges so far. Grooming is daily (I like the longer hair) so you gotta set aside time for that. I would say an 8 all in all. I sure can't wait till I hit that 2 or 3 like some of the others wrote! :animal36

George is anywhere between a 1 and 10, depends on his mood and if he needs extra grooming etc, some days he's real easy going and others he'd rather just get going, but at only 5 months old I would expect some issues, but I love him so much I'd put up with anything

Well, the number I'd give it relates entirely to our lifestyle. My husband and I have both been retired for 5 years (we're in our mid and late 50's so early retirement) and have never had children nor anyone to take care of but ourselves and each other.

Taking care of her requires getting up in the night when she whimpers in case she needs to potty, no more sleeping in late in the mornings, careful thought before leaving the house with no agenda, worrying when she doesn't eat, keeping vet appointments, etc. From where we were before her to the change in responsibiity she has made in our lives, I'd have to honestly say a 10.

However, she entertains us and amuses us throughout our waking hours, she has given us more laughter at her antics in the last two weeks than our house has heard in two years, and she is companionship and love personified and readily available 24/7. She is non-judgmental and so affectionate and gives us a reason to get up for the day. She has brought back a youthful flavor to our lives and has helped us remember not to take life so seriously. From the positive changes she's made for us, I'm have to rate her at least a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10 in satisfaction and pure pleasure!

You do the math...

Great question by the way!

2-3 max. No trouble at all. I'd do anything for my girls and not mind one minute of it.

This is excellent! Couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbup::thumbup: :p
