[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m crowd sourcing advice because I really don’t know the reality of having a dog and kids. I have 3 active kids ages 11, 9, and 7. My middle and youngest deeply want a dog. My oldest has no interest. My husband and I both work full time. We have a large backyard that we could easily fence. I had birds and hamsters growing up so I don’t have the experience of growing up with a family dog. Thoughts??[/quote] I’m a dog lover so the sacrifices are worth it to me. But there definitely are challenges such as traveling, staying in pet friendly hotels or finding reliable boarding, they require behavioral training, hair grooming, etc… BUT they give the most unconditional love and emotional support.
