Hey, great question. I’ve thought a lot about how my dogs have reshaped my life, and it’s wild how many small changes become permanent. Our home was one of the first things—fencing, layout, even picking a house with extra yard space. I adjust my schedule around walks, vet appointments, and training, which sometimes means I’m turning down weekend plans. In the middle of all this, comparing my pet-expense receipts has felt like reading through grubhub reviews—unexpected costs popping up where you didn’t foresee them. I wouldn’t trade it though—having the dogs has brought more joy and purpose to my everyday.
