We all know the age-old story: a family wants a pet, but one person isn’t quite on board. This mom, however, came up with a hilarious and creative way to make sure her husband and kids could prove they were ready for the responsibility of a dog. She set up a 60-day challenge with specific tasks to test their dedication, but things didn’t go quite as planned…

This mom’s 60-day challenge to prove her family’s readiness for a dog has everyone talking! From walking the walk to taking out the trash, her husband and kids had their work cut out for them. But with the longest streak being only two weeks, it seems they’ve got a long way to go before earning their furry friend. ♂️ Even the grandparents got involved, but mom held her ground, insisting they pay for a dog walking service if they wanted a say.
