The hubby and I agree that a dog would be a wonderful addition to our household. We have a baby who's about half a year old, and then us two adults.
The thing is, even though I'm a work at home mom, I don't like taking care of puppies. I KNOW, i know. It's awful! I just can't handle it. All the peeing and pooping and nipping (possibly at baby) and squeaking and squealing and chewing (possibly on baby). Besides, I think my child deserves at least most of my attention. Not a pup.
What we want is an adult dog, maybe aged 4-6.. maybe even 7 or 8. They are usually past the playful, obnoxious stage. I still want playful, but not 24/7.
-Is that too old to adopt a dog?
-Is it dangerous to have an adult dog with a new baby
-is it true that dogs can just "snap" and lose it
I want to rescue a dog that can already pee outside and such but if its dangerous AT ALL, I want to know!
