What I don't like about dogs

I do not own a dog and do not have pets but I still dog site for dog owners. I have been doing the dog sitting for over 12 years and you would think that after that amount of time I would start to like dogs...but no I do not. Each time I house sit I realize what I do not like about dogs and why I do not own one.

- I notice dogs always have to be near me or in the same room as me.
- Dogs can not let themselves out and I must do it for them.
- Dogs can not feed themselves and I must do it for them.
- Dogs eat their own pooh.

They annoy me and get on my nerves. Any pet that can be left in a cage or container I could see myself owning (like a fish, a bird, or a turtle).

When talking about this a couple weeks ago with a friend I realized I probably would not even date a woman who owns a dog.

That is scary as at my age I can not afford to limit my dating options! In a few years I hit 40!!
