So after many years of saying no I am close to saying yes to a dog. DCs are old enough now not to need bums wiping and also to potentially walk and care for a dog.
Could not contemplate dealing with animal poo as well as humans so there's that. Plus I'm nearing the end of my walking to school days as youngest nears secondary. I love walking and will miss the walking element of the school run and do love the idea of having a good reason to get off my arse
Another factor is oldest's mental health which this year has been tough. A dog might just really help.
Anyway here are some questions for people in the know:
We are veering towards a staffy cross mainly because there are so many available in rescues. So why are there so many? Should I worry?
Also what if I (we) don't like it? Or it doesn't like us Is that a risk?
Any advice very welcome.
