She said it 'could' work but gave me a list of strict rules for the kids to follow. IMO, it would be completely taking the fun out of raising a puppy.
Anyone have a success story with young children in the home? I would rather find him a loving home now as a puppy than have something horrible happen. I'm sick to my stomach. |
My kids are exactly young...being 13, 12 and 10.....but I would say that if you are watching and teaching the kids how to handle the pup...it should be fine. Are your kids old enough that you can sit them down and talk to them about the small pup and how to handle him/her?
