Thank you all for your amazing welcome and wonderful replies. It has def helped ease my anxiety a bit! It is exactly what the pp said - I was finally to a point where my kids are getting easier. They wanted a dog, and I conceded. (But got a dog *I* wanted - lol.) I knew since he would have terrier in him he would be a great playmate for the kids, but when they wore him out he would be a good lap dog for me.
And right now in the puppy stage I am realizing how much freedom I dont have anymore! And how many more bills I DO have - ha!
He is still sweet as pie, really good - very little yapping if any and does all hs duties outside when we bring him out (though not house trained by any means yet, we just take him out of his crate and straight outside!).
I am def going to soak in all the info here and try and make life with our new puppy as enjoyable as possible! |
