Exactly, if you are not prepared to deal with some problems or issues from time to time you shouldn't get a dog (or any other animal). Even the most well trained and behaved dog can get sick or frightened and with that will come messes or incidents. You need to have time to spend with and on the pet. And it is definately a 10 to 15 year commitment (depending on the breed and age of the dog when you get them). It can also be an expensive proposition should they get sick at any time. However if you are prepared for these things the rewards far outweigh the costs.
