So, we're getting a puppy next week. Never had a dog before. He's a cockapoo, will be 8 weeks old. I can be home all day and the dcs are 8 through 13 so old enough to be helpful, when they're home.
I've had surgery on my foot; back when we put the deposit down for the dog I'd expected to be fully recovered by now. Today I was at the hospital and they say it's not healing and I have to wear an airboot (knee-length cast thing) for a month - and then "we'll see". More surgery if I'm unlucky. In the meantime I'm allowed to remove the boot to drive (automatic car) and I'm not on crutches, but I am supposed to rest "as much as possible".
Am I mad to think I can cope? Or should we cancel on buying this puppy?
