I had a dog before named max (white german shepard) i visoned him to be this dog who will be very obedient and well trained. (I read countless of books, videos and internet sites try training). But reality hit me and i wasn't very good trainer as I kind of let him run around the house. Anyways, he died in my arms while reaching the vet. This was 4 months ago and i think i'm ready for a dog again but I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't... if any of you have pets let me know if it has helped your anxiety or made it worse (like you have to take hime walk outside, park, get food for him, doctor visits, or any other emergency that comes about). Sounds bit selfish in my part to get him to make me feel at ease but my old dog had a very good life..(huge backyard, bbq rib bones 3 times a week, excercising, etc..) anyways, all pet owners let me know pros and cons of haivng a dog, cat , lizard, or whatever... and ultimately if it helpd your anxiety or not..
