Explaining to Children Why They Cannot Have a Dog

You have to really be certain that your family is not ready for a dog before you tell your children that the time is not right and that they can not have a dog. If you just do not like dogs then okay there is nothing you can do about that but if that is not the case and you are worrying about walking, feeding and possible vet care the dog may need then you have to be honest with yourself about if you are ready for it or not because it is a big responsibility.
