>>83106574Cats are basically autonomous creatures. You just need to put food and water out at vague intervals and clean the litterbox once a week.
Dogs are high maintenance. You need to feed them and give them fresh water daily. You need to cuddle them and give them love and emotional support or they become depressed. You need to play with them constantly and keep them mentally engaged. You need to give them exercise so their bodies stay healthy.
If you don't live in a house with a backyard, then you need to take them for walks 2-3 times daily so they can relieve themselves.
And you have to train them for all this, as well as training out bad behaviour like incessant barking, biting, etc.
A dog is a huge responsibility and a lot of work and these women can barely feed themselves.
