I'm glad you are a work at home mom. You would be surprised some ppl come on w a new pup, younger than 8-9 wks, and work a 12 hour day and the dog is home alone. I had hoped w your fostering background that was not the case but had to ask. Also, we recently had a member who I think the world of whose child accidently stepped on a small dog. With the best of intentions and the most wonderful good-hearted ppl, accidents can happen. I wish you well. You will be one busy lady this Christmas season with your daughter this new fur-newborn! You will have to post pics - as you can probably tell, we love pics.

She also has a playpen for the living room and for the holiday travel. I understand she will be attached to me the same as when my daughters were newborn. I do understand your concern with my big boys but for her it is much safer than a 35 pound cocker that likes to run, jump and may play rough. Due to their size they have extremely good house manners and they do understand their size. Now the backyard is a different topic and even my 11 year old daughter does not play I'm the yard with them, which she will not be. It is the one place the can get rough; for 5 mins. Lol they are mastiffs.
I would not bring her into my house if I believed she could be in any danger. |
