Training a puppy is like having a newborn baby. It's something that one should think deeply about as they are oohing over that precious puppy face. I'm here to give you an example of just what I'm talking about.
Imagine waking up every three hours in the night just to make sure your two month old puppy can use the bathroom no matter the weather. Then training them as if they are a toddler, teaching them not to bite or chew on shoes or people. Potty training all over again, making sure they go fifteen minutes after eating or drinking. Watching them like a hawk to make sure they don't end up with something in their mouth that could choke them. The relief of nap time just around the corner (because you are hopefully crate training your puppy).
There's the stress, now here's the best part. They always love you and though they can be ornery, they stay close to your side. They lay at your feet and sometimes just want to be held. A puppy is wonderful entertainment when you only have one child. The smile on your child's face when he/she runs around outside playing with the puppy is priceless.
So think deeply and be prepared for the work you have to put into a puppy before you whimsically buy one. Just remember they are worth the time and effort and having a puppy helps prolong your lifespan. I love my puppy and can't wait to get home to play with him after a long day's work.
