The question is do we get a puppy or not?
Up until two years ago, whilst I loved dogs I didn't think I wanted one in our home. My husband loves dogs and grew up with a German Shepherd. We decided to become volunteers for a dog charity to see what it would be like to have a dog living with us and to "give something back". I have to say it's the best thing we have done. It's given me a great insight what life is like with a dog. The downside is that it is becoming harder to say goodbye to the dogs we have had in our home and firmed up the need for us to have a four legged friend as part of our family.
The dogs we have had have always been 12 months plus. Having done lots of research and knowing that an older dog may be better, we are thinking to perhaps go for it fully and get a puppy - male labrador. I know it will be hard work. I guess my question is, how long is it really hard work for? I worried what if I do it wrong?
