Take a look at this contract a dad made his kids sign before they got a dog

This dad did all he could to dissuade his four children from getting a dog but in the end all he managed was to minimise his responsibilities and duties.

The father of four wrote out a comprehensive list of rules for the family’s dog ownership after being worn down by his offspring into allowing them to get a dog.

The reluctant dad got his children to sign a contract with 13 rules that cover everything from dog poop, dog bath as well as all emergencies such as accidents in the house.

The contract also stipulated that ’the kids promised to never fall out of love with the dog or get bored of it."

Damn right!

This is the kind of thing all dog owners should have to sign before being allowed to take one home.

Two weeks after signing the contract the family got a dog and apparently the very strict parenting my Mr Dad worked a charm.

Two years later the whole family are happily co-habiting with their dog ’Kershaw’.

Take a look at what Dad had to say:

Epilogue: Two weeks after contract was signed, we got a three year old white fluffy mutt from a shelter that weighs 15 lbs., was already housetrained and doesn’t shed or drool. We named him Kershaw (veto power not exercised). It’s been two years, and the kids (now ages 12, 13 and 15) have been pretty good about doing everything. Kershaw eats dry dog food from Trader Joe’s, and so far hasn’t created any indoor messes that have required the use of harmful cleaning chemicals. Everyone (including Dad) adores the dog, which has been a fantastic addition to (though not member of) our family.
