Mr. J had wanted a cat, but changed his mind upon learning that cats sometimes eat fish, which might be hazardous to the pet fish.
Dr. B hoped the dog will jump start a somewhat active lifestyle for family.
Dada reluctantly went along.
None of us has had a dog before. Are we going to be able to train him? Are we going to have time for walks, grooming, bathing, cleaning, etc.? Can we go out? What happens when we go on trips? How do we make sure there are no tics and fleas? What if someone is allergic?
There is no anticipating what the experience may be like until we plunge in. Kind of like any other new family member.
Mr. J picked out a "cute furry face" from a bunch of rescue dogs needing a home. Dr. B still does not understand what makes a dog a "pumpkin face" vs. a cute furry face.
Met the dog and his foster moms last week. It is good for the soul to meet people who are passionate about something so different from our left brain oriented worlds. They seem to be nice people. Maybe they can be a good resource on matters related to dogs, I hope.
Excited about a new experience...
