PS....I also hope you aren't getting deployed anytime soon...because having puppies would be a huge responsibility to put on someone else. My SO said that usually gave him about 3 month notice...and the whole pregnancy and puppyhood(until 12 weeks of age and they are ready to go to new homes) is about a 5-6 month commitment. Just another thing to think about!! If you are planning on leaving, I'd have whoever is going to take care of the dog start reading up/learning too if you find out you aren't going to be there throughout. |
