UGHH!!! I’m in the SAME situation. I’m sure like many others who’ve posted before me. Now that you’re almost 4 weeks into it how are you doing? I have 4 daughters #3, who’s 7, is my version of Claire. I worry about what happens after the fun wears off. I hear about other people’s pets who get sick (and what’s involved in the clean up of that) and bladder infections that apparently some breeds are susceptible to. I’ve told my family when the whole house is made up of wood floors and I can prevent the dog from going upstairs it will be more of a consideration. Even then, I worry about the furniture getting chewed on.

I hope things are still going well for you and your family.

I don’t know if you’ll even get this email, I’m very late in posting this, but I just had to write you. Your video literally brought me to tears. My very first dog was named Oreo and he strongly resembles your own little dog. My Oreo was a mutt (part poodle, part daschaund). I was about 10 years old when my parents finally said ‘yes’ to a dog. He was my best friend. Fast forward many years…..I’m now 45, but the love I had for Oreo still lives in my heart. I’ve had several dogs since then, all of them very special in their own way, but none more special than my first pup, Oreo. I know how much work a dog can be, but please know you have given your children an amazing gift!

God bless,
Renée

I have had the same response to my family in regards to a dog. And I have stood strong on this theory…til about 3 minutes ago. It isnt all about me….and that is the MOST important thing to remember in this decision. And Rebecca’s post hit it right on the head. Geesh….guess what I might be doing this spring…..but it will give me plenty for my PL 2012 project I am guessing! Thanks for sharing!

I’ve got a feeling that you’re the one who will be totally hooked with Oreo along side Claire. Grab a pillow cause I’m sure you’ll both be pitching in with him for the night.

After getting married and inheriting two stepkids, I was asked about getting a dog every day. No thank you. I would be the one taking care of it since I am home, and there is already too much to do. But one day we went and looked and puppies, and there I saw the cutest little dog. Somehow he came home with us and although it was a challenge for awhile, I can’t imagine life without him. He is a year old now and people tell me he is so cute he should have his own Facebook page. I never knew I could love something so much. I hope Oreo brings lots of love, laughter and joy to your home. Happy New Year!

They bring so much joy and laughter to our lives. And yes, chaos and frustration. But the unconditional love they give will outweigh all that. Congratulations on your new addition!! He’s adorable! And I just loved the video. Made me smile and tear up :-)

Oreo I’m sure has already wiggled into your heart. As time passes there will be moments you will ask yourself why did we do this but there will be more times that you will say that you are so glad you did it.

We have one of Oreo’s half sisters from the last litter. I was NOT a dog person either but can’t imagine life without Zoe. Ours is black with white. She is the best dog ever. So loyal and good. Congratulations. Hope Suzanne has another Puppy Reunion so they can all meet.

You know when you’re thinking about having a baby and you can’t afford it and you’re sure you don’t have time? Then, you’re pregnant and you’re actually SCARED about how this baby, whether first or second or fifth, will fit into your life? Then the baby arrives and, well, of COURSE the child fits into your life and within days you can’t imagine or even remember life without him?
Babies are, of course, a zillion times more important than dogs. But…it’s essentially the same feeling. You sigh when he chews the corner of your couch a bit. You want to pull your hair out with all the housebreaking. You cringe inside when he wakes you up a half hour earlier than you want to get up. But it doesn’t take long until you can’t imagine your life without him. Family is family. Glad to see Oreo will have such a bundle of love from your children. What a wonderful video.
