My kids and I went to my nephew's baseball game yesterday and there was a family there that had 2 of these dogs. My kids are scared of dogs... but they LOVED this dog. Loved it. The lady that owns the dogs has a son on my nephew's baseball team, she was super sweet and nice and was great about my kids playing with the dogs. The lady said they weren't ever dog people either, especially her husband but that has all changed now and she said, "It's sick how much he loves these dogs." I was thinking. "Really?!" I don't think I've ever had the desire to own a dog. I'm not a dog person. At all. And someone who is even less of a dog person is my husband.
But, I was seriously tempted last night seeing how much my kids loved this dog. They talked about it non-stop on the way home. Asked when they could get a dog. And of course, Sam even included these two puppies in his prayers by name before bed last night.
I've always said my kids wont experience pets. I think their pet needs have been fulfilled when it rains, they go out and gather the worms off the driveway and play with them. But, maybe after seeing how much they loved this little puppy, it will change my mind. Maybe. We'll see.

Don't forget, dogs chew up the baseboards, scratch your furniture, dig where they shouldn't, and uh, {poop} so you can just forget that one! It is VERY tempting though when you see your kids so happy with a dog.
I'm not a pet person myself either, but we have promised the girls that when we move they can get pre-dog pets...if they are responsible enough then we'll get a dog eventually. Brita's thinking of maybe getting a rat. I'm in a panic over the whole thing.
Judy,
RUN, RUN, RUN! Don't do it! The kids think it is cute for several weeks and then the honeymoon is over and it's YOUR job since you are the keeper of all household responsibilities! Run!
That is the first step down the path of responsibility for you forever. :) My boys really want a dog and I get the same idea of changing my mind. I hope I never do but never say never. I guess...
Hi Judy, this is Nan (dog owner). Michelle forwarded your blog to me. I loved it! Yes, I agree with the comments, they are a big responsibility and hard work, but lots of love also. Anytime you want to bring your kids over to play with Sophie and Boo, please do! We only live about a mile from Michelle and Jordan.
Nan
