Trying out a pet...and...maybe not
We don't have any pets. I am a cat lover, had cats all my life. But my husband is allergic. He had dogs all his life. His mother currently breeds
King Charles Cavalier spaniels (she sold a dog to Sly!).
I am not a dog person - although I do like the Cavaliers...they are
sort of like cats. Sometimes when we visit Nana or a friend who
has pets, we get pleading looks from the kids. Not to mention outright
serious suggestions - "Let's get a dog/cat!" At one point, we were
talking seriously about getting a dog. That was about 2 years, 9 months
ago. Oh, right when we got pregnant with our almost-2-year-old. That idea was ditched.
After all, I am going to be the one taking care of the dog - even if my husband says he will be doing it (the poop, taking it for walks, finding a
dog sitter when we go away for the weekend, etc., etc., etc.) Having 3
kids in diapers, plus a dog, wasn't going to happen.
But! We have pets at the kids' preschool. And this weekend, we took Snowball the Bunny home for a visit. The kids adored having her.
It was a bit of an adjustment for me...
