[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? I’m getting a lab puppy next month. [b]I have always wanted a dog [/b]and kids do too. I have three teenagers 14,15,19. .. I know the dog will fall on me but you are scaring me lol. [/quote] This is the big difference, I think. OP isn't into dogs, according to the first post, and it sounds like has no experience taking care of them. I think it's hard to fathom how much time and energy even a normal, healthy dog requires, even once it's trained (and getting a puppy means a fully trained dog is about a year off, even if the bulk of the training is complete before then). Dogs get sick and injured, and taking care of them then is even harder. If you want to test-drive dog ownership, spread the word that you're interested in taking care of friends' dogs. [/quote]
