I got a puppy and I'm its single caregiver. I love having him around but I didn't realize it'd mean being on-call 24/7 plus the rotations on my team at work when I'm really on-call. That's made for some..interesting times.
Having a furry little companion is fun, though, and I'm getting out and socializing way more than before.
Overall a net positive, IMO. Just a lot of work and responsibility.
- lamroger 5y agoI credit my experience with shitty startup on-calls with being able to get through the first few months of getting a pupper. Totally agree with getting out and socializing - going to the dog park after work is a treat
- spike021 5y agoHeh, sounds like you had the opposite experience. I was on call the second week I had him and I'm a bit regretful since some extra first couple weeks' training without interruptions would've probably been better. Huge plus one. Even just seeing him play with other dogs is a huge endorphin boost for me.
