Entitled sister expects her sibling to dogsit Copper the Golden Retriever without notice, but fails to ask ahead or say thank you: 'She said she "forgot" and that she had already booked her flight'

• I love dogs. I love my friends' dogs, my parents' dogs, and my siblings' dogs, but that doesn't mean that I'd be willing to put my life on hold every weekend to assume dog ownership. Dogs are an enormous responsibility, and despite what social media says, dogs require a ton of care that will likely exceed any aspiring dog owner's expectations. Sure, they're cute, cuddly, slobbery, and sweet, but a dog needs to be walked, they need to go out to potty, they need vet visits, treats, toys, beds, and they need an owner who's prepared to train them, love them, and provide pretty much constant care. 

  They aren't called furbabies for no reason.

• Not every wannabe dog person realizes the consequences of adopting that wide-eyed puppy at the pet store adoption event. Not only will that puppy become larger and more needy, but they'll also require a caregiver every day. They're not like lizards, fish, or even cats. You can't leave a dog for days at a time and expect them to be okay, you need to be ready to hire a dog sitter if you plan to go out of town; it seems obvious to some, but to the entitled people of the world, they expect their personal responsibilities to simply fall into place, likely because a family member or friend bent over backwards to help them out. 

• There comes a point when this woman must realize that she needs to start being a thoughtful dog owner, instead of pushing the unsavory responsibilities onto someone else.
