[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? I’m getting a lab puppy next month. I have always wanted a dog 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 me.  I have teenagers (15 and 18) and we got a puppy.  I had wanted a dog forever, but when the kids were young we were just way too busy.  Now has been perfect.  I knew going in he was going to be mine and the work will be on me.  He is 8 months and I love him.  I think he is also helping take the sting of my oldest leaving for college.  Having a dog is definitely different for different people.[/quote]

100% this.  I have a 21, 19 and 15 year old.  We got a dog 5 years ago and it's been the best decision even though I 100% NEVER wanted a dog.  Guess what, I am now my dog's person and I love it.  Two of mine are in college and one is in school all day so it's just the dog and I during the day.  I love it.  She is my shadow.  I'm even considering getting a second on when when the youngest goes to college.  It's definitely good to have kids around when they're a puppy because it really is a lot of work but it's for a fairly short period of time.  Totally worth it.  [/quote]
