I have to add something, I have a friend who got her yorkie from a lady who just had a baby, it was her first baby and well , she was overwhelmed, she could not do both!! A new baby requires constant attention and it is hard when your dog is used to being with you all the time and then you have to devote time to the baby.. she said taking the dog out for walks while her hubby was not home got to be impossible ( no fenced in yard)
I also want to add that my friend that does come over with her babies, although Laci is awesome with them, I am a nervous wreck till she leaves, I am just so afraid they will plop down on her or trip and land on her etc...
Having a new puppy 5 months old and being a mom of three skinkids, I honestly dont think I could give Laci the attention she deserves if I had a baby or tot running around ALL THE TIME.... |
