I have to partially agree with that. People today are slaves to their jobs ever since they broke the unions but that's a different topic. Anyhow, if such people didn't own dogs,  who would be left to have them? Two people putting in long hours struggle to raise their own children. It's a small wonder that dogs should be impacted by it too. The solution,  IMO, doesn't lie in not owning dogs but in a return to a more authentic lifestyle.  Technology isn't all that it is cracked up to be.

So everyone should go off grid.  I hope we were helpful to the OP.

Don't be a Debbie Downer.

Me?  Haha. I recall you’ve done some things along those lines yourself.
