[quote=Anonymous]My youngest is also 9 and I also SAHM. We have a 7mo puppy. We wanted to wait until the kids were mature enough to behave well around a pup, and a bit more self sufficient themselves. I knew they wouldn’t end up helping a ton with actual dog care, but they are doing more chores and things for themselves which frees up time. Your lifestyle may be different- but we figured we are entering the stage where we can’t just pick up and take off for the weekend anymore without planning far in advance, - because of the kids’ school and activity schedules. I feel like we will be more tied down with school etc from now until college. Not like when the kids were small! So for US it seemed the right time. We also have a fenced backyard etc which helps a lot, I do wish I had considered dog-proofing ahead of time as it has been much like child proofing! [/quote]
