[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were exactly your position except kids 8, 9 and 11. Two cats, 2 FT jobs with travel. While I was stalking rescue sites I filtered for "good with cats" and "good with children." I also opted for adult dogs as a young dog would be far more work and likely agitate the cats. I knew I found the perfect "new to us" dog when the description said he ignored cats" (which is mostly true; only when they chase one another and hiss at each other does he try to intervene and get them to stop - just as he does with the kids!). Listing said he was 2-1/2 yo but vet at both rescue organization and our personal vet put the age closer to 5yo bass on condition of teeth. And guess who has ended up being the biggest advocate of the dog? The reluctant husband.

We were [b]dating[/b] yesterday that in our marriage we tend to make decisions first and then figure out the details first (buy house, second/third child, renovate house, private schools...adopt dog). I told my DH last night that our DD(that is Dear Dog) came from a high-kill rural shelter and would have been euthanized and he was horrified to hear this perfect companion had actually had his days numbered).

The perfect dog IS out there for your family and cats![/quote]

"Saying" yesterday (though dating would have been good, too, provided it is with each other!)
