Teebs Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 i wont foster. Kaos has issues with other dogs, and it wouldnt be fair on her to bring them in and out, if she was ok then i would 100% look into it I also have my 11 year old cat bella to think of, she is having a few issues since i lost Atlas, i would hate for her to get attached to another dog, and have it leave.

gillbear Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You are preggers and clucky... Your mind is not your own - it's the hormones. Borrow a puppy or offer to puppy sit for a week - hopefully all that puppy mess will cure you. I think you are totally nuts for even thinking that you could deal with everything you have going on and adding a puppy into the mix.. Wait and get the perfect pup at the perfect time. What she said. Dont do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally, you have no idea how the baby may change things - if it is an easy baby or one that doesn't sleep or settle easily or how you'll feel once it's born. I definitely wouldn't do it. Wait and see how you feel once the baby is born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Kaos has issues with other dogs, and it wouldnt be fair on her to bring them in and out, if she was ok then i would 100% look into it I also have my 11 year old cat bella to think of, she is having a few issues since i lost Atlas, i would hate for her to get attached to another dog, and have it leave. This would seal it for me. If Kaos is not good with other dogs it would be hard for you to try and integrate one right now. Even with puppy licence if Kaos doesn't like the pup (or decides not to like it when puppy licence expires) if you are heavily pregnant or having just had a C section, how will you manage two dogs if they start fighting? I know its all 'what if's but make a list of positives and negatives and see which one is longer. We can do it for you if you want cause DOL always has an opinion.

mita Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 but i still want a puppy :laugh: I want 10 tibbies but I don't need 10 tibbies. :) Separate out 'wanting' from 'needing'. One's a wish, the other's reality. There's a saying, 'If wishing were horses then beggars would ride.' Roll out the Good 'Ole Reality Check. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 :laugh: i know what the right thing to do is *sigh* Feel your pain with decision making! I am not expecting, but my life is crazy busy right now that when the perfect puppy recently came available, I had to battle with myself to make a decision and in the end I decided there were far too many cons outweighing pros. I may not ever be presented with such a perfect opportunity again as I just had, but I couldn't let that be my decision maker. There is never a good time for a puppy, but I do know there are times when it is even worse! Now was that time for me. Maybe in a few years time things will be different, and another perfect puppy may come up. I'll never know, but I am happy with my decision (while sad!), and learning to appreciate what I already have, instead of always wanting more (terrible habit of mine!) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheekyMonster Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Teebs.......this is what we call baby brain, your not thinking clearly... just ask yourself if you would like to raise twins instead of an only child? because you will be doing double duties.....

juice Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You could always give it to me if it gets too much( if its white of course ) Personally, no time is ever right, my first was easy and i took her out in a backpack to walk the dogs, then in a buggy with 3 dogs, no probs, however non where pups. General feeling seems to be to wait, but i do agree with clyde as they start to move and crawl they are actually harder work. So ,which pups do you like?

Kavik Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It is different work as they get older. I find I worry about them less once they get a bit older - when tiny bubs I did worry about whether they were breathing when they were sleeping especially if the nap was long or overnight. At least you feel more human once you are getting decent sleep and once the hormones settle down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claireybell Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 When I was pregnant I really wanted another puppy. Thank dog I didn't get one!!! For the first few months old my son's life my poor dogs got hardly any attention from me because all I did was look after a newborn and try and get sleep. Things are easier now but I'm still thankful OH talked me out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 :laugh: juice as if i would get an ugly white bully! Has to be a coloured! Im tossing up between the Bully, a Rottie, French Bulldog and British Bulldog. I know, different breeds, i have had experience with the Brits.
