We have a chance to get a 12 m old female labrador, microchipped, desexed vaccinated.
DH isnt a dog person so has basically said its up to me as he cannot guartee how much invovlement he will have, he admitted if it was his choice we would never get a dog.
Chelsea wants a dog, and wont shut up about it :laughing:
Luke is on the fence he lieks dogs but doesnt want it jumping on hima nd he wants to be able to play still.
Aaron well aarons outa the vote due to age.
Me I love dogs and want either a lab, retriever or mix of both.
We are also TTC #4 maybe more lmao.
I spoke to hubby and he said its my choice.
I want it so bad but purely for me and my selfish reasons. But im second guessing whether to get it as my kids are young, we are busy, Im home mostly but with xmas and everything Chaos isnt even putting it nicely. We are doing up our garden (putting in gravel to cover dirt. painting fences etc)
Our house is roomy, and I live on an acre property, which is fully fenced. I dont walk every day but I am hoping a dog will encourage that. We do have snake risk in summer and temps here do get hot, but we figure the dog can come inside if its too hot.
I also have 3 cats.
In the last few yrs we had 2 pups we had to rehome as they were just too full on for the kidlets. It got to the point that our kids didnt want to be in the same area as the pup. But the pup followed us everywhere inside and out. This time there will be a pen with plenty of room if we need to put the dog out of human contact range. IYKWIM.
As for going away we dont travel places much usually a day trip, on a sat for sport. When we do go away its normally overnight and we ahve someone people who can feed the dog.
My mums said not too she said the dogs too big and that we need a smaller breed, we wants us to get a bulldog. I dont want one i want a larger dog thats got a good rep and i will feel safe with kids being near and with having it inside whilst hubby is away for work.
No final decision will be made until we see and spend time with her. But would you go for it or leave it.
