I am lonely. Dating sucks. I need constant affection. I wonder if owning a pet could help with this but I know that owning one can have some challenges as well. Those are my questions.
1-I know that you need to be outgoing to own a dog and have A LOT of time for them. I am curious to know if there are nerds that rarely go outside that has a dog. Is it doable or just pure fantasy?
2-I know that owning a pet cost a lot to maintain, feed, etc. How much do you spend per year on your dog?
3-I see that a lot of you are having sex with dogs. How is it?
4-If I don't spay/neuther my dog, will the vets bother and harrasm me to do it?
5-Can a lazy person own a dog? Just curious of your answers. ?
6-Can a dog help compensate for lonelyless for not having a girlfriend/wife?
1) When your dog is a puppy, then your puppy really needs a high investment, but this is to make sure that your dog knows how to act as an adult. For instance, if you act fast to train your puppy to never EVER pee on the floor and to let you know if they need to go out, then your dog's need to go to the bathroom occasionally will never be an issue, but if you don't teach your puppy this communication system early, then you are in for a lot of frustration later. The trick to making sure that your dog is relatively little trouble as an adult is to put a lot of attention into raising them as a puppy. A well-trained puppy is generally a low-stress adult dog.
On a side-note, some dog owners are not always sure what to do about attention-getting behavior, which can lead to a dog tearing up a place just because they become desperate to get their owner to pay attention to them. This is not complicated. Make sure the dog has plenty of toys, even toys that your dog is actually encouraged to try to destroy. A good kong toy can keep a dog entertained for hours. When you have genuinely invested in a good toy, you'll actually feel jealous of the toy. Between you and a good kong toy, you're chopped liver.

2) The day-to-day cost of feed and routine veterinary bills is something that you can afford on a working-class income. Just talk to experienced dog owners about how to handle aging or health emergencies. Those can get a little expensive, although they are not usually devastating to anyone established enough to have money in savings. Avoid trying to use exotic last-ditch surgeries to save a dog that is at the end of their lifetime: you can spend an almost unlimited amount of money on trying to save a dog that is really just going through the normal aging process. I am not just this way with dogs, by the way, but I also support death with dignity legislation for humans, and I am still a supporter of the campaign to get Dr. Kevorkian a full post-mortem pardon. I think that providing love, comfort, and support is more important than longevity, and exotic attempts to prolong a life by only a few months are really just traumatizing for the animal...or for the human, for that matter. If you can accept that your dog is really not supposed to live forever, then the cost of providing the dog with comfort late in life is really not particularly high.
That said, have a reserve for dealing with unexpected emergencies or accidents, though, because these can happen: a young and healthy dog can blow out a hip tumbling down some steps, for instance. Keep your credit score high and your bank account fat, and if you are careful and don't take dumb chances and catch problems before they turn into a crisis, then most likely, they will stay that way. The best preparation for an emergency is to try not to have one. The second-best preparation for an emergency is to be prepared for it if you do have one.

3) Dog sex is amazing, yes. However, not all of them are going to be interested in sex. This is something that most people don't really know about zoophiles. We actually have many dogs, in our lifetimes, that are just confused by our sexual overtures, and they look at us like we're adorable mentally disabled children when we try to tempt them. Usually, dogs are....well, they're horndogs, but...BUT...dogs are diverse. Like people, they can just be relatively asexual, and that is okay. Nine times out of ten, if you follow the how-to sections, you will find that bitches are really nasty and slutty animals that can get hooked on your dick like it's a crack tit. Just don't blame the dog if that's not the case.
Bitches can be lesbians, and pressuring a lesbian to have sex with a man is gay-bashing.
Bitches can be asexual, and pressuring an asexual to have sex at all is ace-bashing.
If you can accept that your puppy might someday say, "I love you, but no thank you," then you will most likely be very happy.

4) Some vets are shocked if you don't want to neuter, but just tell them, "No." You don't really have to. However, it is recommended, even by zoos, to consider spaying an older female dog, just so you can avoid infections of the uterus. On the other hand, there is also such a thing as an ovary-sparing hysterectomy, which means that your bitch-dog will still have a strong female libido but won't have the cycles related to going in and out of heat. If a veterinarian thinks this is weird, you are not under any obligation to explain.
If veterinarians get too nosy about your decisions, then treat them as if they were a perfectly decent human being that just ripped a nice, juicy, pants-staining fart that had a beat you could almost dance to. Pretend it didn't happen, and wait for them to say something that is actually intelligent and relevant, rather than embarrassing them by drawing attention to a
faux pas. Nosiness is a breach of professionalism. They know it is. Give them a few seconds, and they will realize it on their own.

5) Depends on the breed and on the individual dog.

6) This is like asking your gay friend, "can having a man living in the house with me compensate for me not having a woman?" If you are gay or bisexual, yes. If you are not gay or bisexual, no. There are many people that have a zoo exclusive lifestyle, actually, and they are quite contented with that. The real answer to this question depends on whether or not you are an actual dyed-in-the-wool zoophile.
On the other hand, many people find that having a dog actually opens up their heart in a way that makes them more confident about approaching human romantic prospects. The dog is just less intimidating, so there is less of a sense that you will be slapped in the face or misunderstood for a well-meaning demonstration of affection. Humans often assume each other to be more mercenary than they actually are before they have gotten to know each other. Dogs don't have this problem, so they can give you practice at how to navigate a healthy relationship. In healthy relationships with humans, you can be as honest about your feelings as you can be with a dog. In unhealthy relationships with humans, you cannot, but you should not have those, anyway.
The trick to humans is that if being with a human feels like being with a dog, then that person probably trusts you, likes you, and has good intentions. It is hard for many humans to open up to you like a dog just does naturally, but when they do, making themselves completely vulnerable to you, the truth is that there really is not all that much difference between a dog and a human. Humans are just really big, dumb-looking dogs. The ones that know it are the best kind. A good dog can teach you what every human can be if they will let themselves be.
Humans are at their worst when they overthink and doubt their instincts: this can lead to people basing bad social judgments on theories that are really destructive. For instance, a lot of people called "incels" are really just heterosexual men that were trying to get girls to like them using more theory than sense, and if most of these men would just let their guard down and trust their instincts, then they just might get laid. The problem is not that they are bad people, but the problem is that they are overthinking what is really a simple thing. Most women that have chronic man problems are full of theories about men and have a lot of pseudoscience in their heads about dealing with men, whereas most women that have healthy relationships could not really explain how they do it because they just do what is natural. Those women that have issues are not really "asshole-magnets," but the problem is that they won't trust their instincts and therefore get into trouble.
The worst shortcoming, of the human race, is that we learn to depend so much on our intelligence and our capacity for scheming and strategizing that we can sometimes attempt to apply this gift, which nature has invested in us, to things that it really is not applicable to. This is a large part of why many profoundly gifted individuals can have very dysfunctional and problematic social lives. They are seeded with a defective concept of how meaningful their intelligence is to determining whether or not they are happy or good, and they ignore their other gifts. The most sophisticated table-saw ever invented cannot really replace a good claw-hammer.
Owning a dog and even making love to a dog can actually awaken you to what kinds of people humans can be if they will just accept each other and themselves.
