Sure, you love your dog, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t tired of tripping over balls or finding chew sticks under your furniture. And we believe it’s the rare dog owner that isn’t annoyed when they find a tangle of leashes and collars, and no one wants to spend time unraveling such a knot when it’s time to take the dog out.
The answer isn’t to stop buying your dog those toys, outfits, treats and other needed supplies. Dog owners may find it tempting to solve their frustrations by tossing out little-used items that get in the way of day-to-day living, but that’s akin to throwing money away.
