to get a dog".
Just because I have 3 DC everyone I have mentioned it to looks at me like I'm insane or makes some comment along those lines. Two of the DCs are at school all day and my youngest is at nursery 3 days a week.
I have researched this thoroughly, spoken for hours to breeders about the correct way to go about the process of finding the right dog for us, I have owned dogs in the past so i know what's involved and I'm prepared to put the time and work in. I know what lies ahead, good and bad.
I just think it will ALSO be a wonderful, positive bonding experience for us as a family. Taking trips at the weekends when we would otherwise have sat around vegetating in the house, walking the dog (rain or shine) and just getting some exercise and fresh air, teaching the kids some responsibility and ownership although I know I'll probably end up doing most of it! Socialising with other dog owners and generally living life a bit more to the full.
My DH is totally on board and looking forward to it. Our older DCs are really excited about it, I'm SICK of people bringing me down about it!!
Sorry, not sure what the point of that rant was, just needed to vent!
