[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the question is really now vs September, and your parents are willing to take the dog this summer and will do a good job training it, I would do that. The kids will love having a buddy this summer and it will be easier to send an older/better trained/vaccinated dog to day care in the fall. By the time the weather gets cold again you won't have to walk the dog as much.

But the question might really be dog or not. If you don't think you can handle a dog on top of two full time jobs and kids, don't get a dog while you have those things. If what your family really wants is a dog and a sahm and less day care and you can afford it, don't wait to be laid off though. That's putting your happiness in the hands of Elon. Make it happen if it's the right thing for your family not the right thing for doge.[/quote]

Op here. Potentially we could keep putting off a puppy even past September and still stay top of the waitlist. It’s a $$$ dog and there’s a long waitlist. This is a breeder who researched us too and might not give it if she knew we couldn’t even telework part time.

Grandparents could help potty train the dog, but would be awful at commands and everything else we want the dog trained in. [/quote]
