Hi 👋🏻
Sooo for a long long time now I’ve wanted a dog , a Labrador in fact. I had labs growing up and I just adore them although fully appreciate the enormous responsibility and hard work that goes into having one especially for the first few years. Here’s my situation ;
I have 2 children 1 aged 2 - loves dogs is a bit crazy herself and I’m sure she could handle a puppy ( most of the time )
My son is 7 and has autism and epilepsy - our house can be madhouse at times. my son does have to be rushed into hospital quite a bit however, as we have another child it’s not always possible for my dh to go hospital aswell and so wouldn’t really affect the dog.
We have a reasonable sized house, huge garden, live in the country and are very outdoorsy when the kids are willing 🙄 ( which they are a lot of the time ) we really think a dog would compliment all of that and more importantly I’d love a companion for my son. He loves dogs however, I’m quite aware dogs at other peoples houses is a lot different to having one live at your home.
Sooooo do you think just by looking at my situation I’d be mental to consider having a dog. A lot of people I have spoken to about it seem to think it’s a ridiculous idea considering the amount of day to day worry and stress we have - which we do but We can cope with it and do so well I think, we’re a very happy strong family and I’m confident that although it will be frustrating, tiring and I’ll regret it at times I just can’t help but think it could be the best thing we ever did.
What do you think 🙈 if you think I’m a twat go ahead and say - I’m ready for it 😂
