We have been thinking about this for years and now youngest dc is 5 we are decided the time is right.
Yesterday we went to the rescue and met 3 dogs. We took them out for walks and understandably they were a bit wary but lovely. Should we fall in love with one? They all seemed perfectly nice and suitable but is it like buying a house, should you just know?
We have no preference on sex or colour and we have no other pets.
We had a home check 2 years ago when we first discussed this and will have another one this week.
Does anyone have any advice on how to help new dog settle in? We have an old cot mattress to use as a bed but do we need a special dog bed? I have ordered the greyhound for dummies book I see recommended on here. Any other advice?
