Thinking about getting a dog?

A dog sounds great. Until Monday morning.

See what a normal week with one might actually look like.

Difficult days this week: 3

What if one thing changed?

You don't have to redesign your whole life. Start with one difficult day.

It's usually not the weekend that's the problem.

It's your normal Tuesday.

MONDAY

Earlier than you thought.

Leave home.

Commute.

Work.

Get back.

A dog doesn't know it's Monday.

THURSDAY

You're away for ten hours.

Workday.

Traffic.

Dinner.

That's the day that needs a plan.

FRIDAY

You suddenly want to stay out.

One drink becomes three.

The question isn't whether you love your dog. It's what happens to your plans.
