my dh has always desperately wanted a dog but i thought while we both worked fulltime it was unfair cos of leaving it alone. however now we have ds (three months), while i'll be going back to work eventually we are plannning to have a nanny so there would be someone in the house. what i want to know is - would getting a puppy with a new baby around be seven kinds of lunacy? have heard you should wait til toddler stage so that dog is more likely to recognise the baby as higher up the pecking order.
and does anyone know if it's harder to find a nanny who'll work in a house with a dog? also was keen on a nanny share and worried other mums may be wary of sharing with dogowners.....anyone had this situation??
