I was given a maltese when I was 14 years old, she was my baby, named her Baby even. When I was 22 I had my first child. Well I insisted that things would not change. But they do. The moment I walked in the door with my first newborn baby, the dog became my pet for the first time ever. There were adjustments we all had to go through. It is a very different feeling. I can almost guarantee that no one would want their child to be drugged all the time to keep a pet in their family. It would be a very sad situation. But I do not agree with people giving their dog up just because they have a baby and are overwhelmed or something. I get very upset when people say they just don't have time for the dog anymore or blah blah blah. BUt If the dog is making the child sick that is different. |
