Why You Can't Have 101 Dalmatians In Real Life

   If you ever saw the movie 101 Dalmatians you probably thought it would be cool to have 101 real Dalmatian puppies running around your house. Sadly it is impossible to keep 101 Dalmatians for the following reasons. The first reason being that having 101 Dalmatians would not come cheap. With any pet you have to feed it. in order to feed 101 puppies you would go through thousands of bags of dog food a year. I feed my Dalmatian, Pepper Ann twice a day. So if you feed your 101 Dalmatians twice a day you would double the amount and put you into substantial amount of debt.
   My next reason is the veterinarian costs. This alone will cost you several thousands of dollars because the veterinarian has to see 101 Dalmatian puppies individually and give them their shots individually would take a few days out of their busy schedule to see your dogs. This also includes spaying and neutering all of your 101 Dalmatians.
   The third reason would be local ordinances. Chances are that your city or municipality has an ordinance on how many dogs or cats that you can have. I will have to add the health reason because having too many pets creates a bad odor, your neighbors do not want to live next to a house with a 101 Dalmatians because of the foul stench.  Also the city's code enforcement and health department can and will condemn your house due to the unhealthy living conditions of having too many dogs.
    Reason number 4 is cleaning up all of the dog poop. this alone will take at least a good hour or two of your day. So I am not going into detail about it.
    Reason number 5 is that it would be too time consuming to give each one of your 101 Dalmatians individualized attention let alone remembering all 101 of their names which I couldn't remember them all either.
    The sixth reason is that everyone in the city or town you live in will call you the crazy dog person because you have so many dogs. Everyone will be comparing you to the infamous crazy cat lady.
     The seventh reason is that the their is no public assistance for having 101 dogs. Sorry you can't ask congress for a bailout for raising your 101 Dalmatians.
      I'm Sorry if i ruined your childhood dream.
