It is amazing how you can collect a whole bunch of stuff for your pet. Dog supplies can take up a whole shelf in your garage. And that does not include pet furniture that can occupy even more space. They need feeding bowls and their very own drinking fountain. Their bag of dog food is a huge sack that needs a covered container to keep it safe from contamination.

When it is time for his bath, you bring out his soap and shampoo; and prepare his towel and brush on the side. Sometimes he even needs a hair dryer when the weather is a bit chilly and you are afraid he might catch a cold. Taking care of a dog is just like taking care of a baby. The big difference is that babies will grow up and learn to fend for themselves. Dogs will forever be dependent on you.
