oh, don’t do it. puppies suck. they’re WORSE than a newborn. i’ve had both and i’ll take a newborn ANY day, because neither of my children have ever eaten half a linoleum kitchen floor or part of a sofa or an entire plastic laundry basket.

when you decide to go there, i would strongly encourage you to look for a rescue or shelter dog. there are very specific behaviors well-adjusted dogs exhibit–we found one of them, sitting in front of a petsmart store with a bunch of her brethren from the parkville animal rescue. she’s a big, clumsy mutt, but she’s the best dog ever.

Our dog (Australian Shepard)is six years old and we go back and forth about getting a second one. She just calmed down in the past year. Sigh. My kids so want a puppy, but they are so much freaking work. I’m guessing I’ll hold out until the baby is at least walking. Or potty trained. Only so much poop I can clean up.

No clue on the title.

Axel loves the dog. The dog does not love Axel. I think, though, that’s because he had a good 5 years alone with us before the baby came and messed up his good situation. I love the dog, I do, but if we didn’t already have him, there’s no way I would have brought something else to feed/clean up after/love into the house. And I’m really, really tired of the dog eating Axel’s socks.

Long time no chat, cousine. But I found this post to be up my alley (shocking, I know). I vote for the rescue route. But I also wanted to throw a breed out there… scotties don’t shed much at all. And every one I have worked with I have falled in love with. Assuming you want a small breed… if you want a large golden beast I feel you know which breed I pledge my allegience to. )

We want a dog. Someday. I grew up with a dog and miss having one.

But at this point I just can’t fathom another living creature needing my attention at 7:00 am.

I would kill, though, to think of some system to share a dog with a lot of other families…to sit under the table while the kids are eating. So much mess and so much waste.

At 62 I’m done taking care of things..and a pet although more loyal then most things is the same as having a child.

Blessings to the young that still have the energy..my daughter age 42 has three dogs, two horses and a cat. She loves them all and so do her seven children..

Depending on the breed, the hair shedding can pretty much be cancelled out by the way they eat all the kids’ crumbs off the floor.

(Yes I am also SHOCKED that you came that close!)

I did not want a dog, but my lovely MIL got my youngest son a puppy for his birthday two years ago. He is a three-legged Shitzu/Maltese mix and I could not imagine our lives without him. Rescue dogs are great, and rescue dogs that don’t shed? The absolute best!

Wow. No way will I be bringing a puppy to our house until the baby is at least 3. You’re a brave woman.
