''i have a dog to care for''

or ''i have a house to pay for''. can i say that? instead of ''i have a dog that i have to care for''? i am pretty sure it is wrong since i haven't found that expression anywhere, but it sounds somewhat right to me Emotion: wink i don't know why.

the whole sentence i am wondering about is:
''I know what it is like to have long work days on the one hand, and a dog with special needs to care for on the other.''

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sentences must begin with a capital letter. The word "I" is always capitalised. There is no word "i" in English.

Anonymousa house to pay for
All of the following are correct.

a house to pay for; a dog to care for; a friend to rely on; some people to meet; a meeting to go to; something to talk about; some music to listen to; ideas to think about; goals to work toward; things to do; ...

So your sentence is OK.
