Hi All,
So my husband and I have been thinking about getting a puppy for over a year now. We didn't want to rush it when he was working away from 5am till 8pm. but he has much better job now for almost a year (no crazy hours) and currently are going through a vetting for a different position which could lead up to even better hours than now.
We have decided this is it. we will be getting a puppy, we will take some time off each from work for a training etc. we have told our 3.5yr old toddler who is over the moon...and BOOM...I am pregnant again :)
Has anyone dealt with a newborn, toddler, new puppy and found it all manageable? We are thinking of getting one but before or right after baby is due, not now as we would not like to take any unnecessary holidays.
Are we crazy to even think about it ?
just to add...both of us always had dogs, grew up with dogs, and having a dog is nothing new to us, but it was all before we became a family. in my case I had my grandmom living with us (my parents and siblings) so we did not have any issues with separation anxiety or leaving it with someone during holidays..
