[quote=Anonymous]DH and I always had dogs as pets when we were growing up and had 2 dogs before we had kids. Obviously we love dogs, so I'm not going to say "don't do it." But I am going to say don't delude yourself into thinking this dog will be your children's responsibility. Our kids are teens and college students, but, ultimately, DH and I are still responsible for the dogs -- it's not just walking and feeding them, but arranging for their care or boarding when you travel, taking them to the vet, dealing with them when they get old (it's almost as bad as having a puppy), etc. If you are willing to take on this responsibility, then by all means go ahead, though I would certainly advise getting a small dog to start with. But don't do it for the kids -- I've seen this lead to misery for all -- parents, kids and dog. [/quote]
