[quote=Anonymous]We waited until our kids were 7 and 9 before getting a dog. It's like having another child who never grows up (though decidedly more behaved than my feral children)! I don't know if you SAH; I work, but mostly work at home so I'm the primary caregiver and the dog is very attached to me. In some ways, it's like having a toddler who ties you down to the house with their naps- my kids are now at a much more independent stage (8 and 10 now) but we have to make sure we're home every so often to feed and walk the dog. Some dogs can be free fed- ours is a beagle and most decidedly can't be trusted to be anywhere near food. I guess what I'm saying inarticulately is that I personally needed my kids to be more independent before I could care for yet another dependent creature. Love that pupper so much though![/quote]
