Q: Speaking of Dogs....

I really, really, really want my dogs back! I had to give them away because of the jealousy issues and the problems that I was having taking care of them when I was pregnant. But now I feel like I could take them back. The thing is that they are happy with my uncle. They are very energetic dogs and he takes them on hour long walks twice daily, plus his fenced in property includes a half acre of woods. So they're living in doggie paradise! I'm concerned that taking them back would be too disruptive for them. My uncle has already said that he would like to keep them (he's a super dog person, with my 2 dogs he has a total of 6). Do you think it would be wrong to take them back? Should I just adopt another dog? Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I think it would be wrong to take them back, they are already settled and they love their life....To disrupt that would be wrong to do to them and to your uncle i.M.O

Good advice... I think I will wait until he's potty trained to get a pup. One mess at a time, lol! And growing up with a dog is absolutely awesome!

Yeah,i agree with everyone else.And it's a good idea to wait until .Chu is potty trained first but if you want one now you could adpot one who is a bit older and is already potty trained and will take to .Chu.Just go down to the pound and see! Maybe a small dog first?

Yeah a dog when the kids are young is hard when the pup isnt house broken or trained not to take off out the front door any time its opened.

We had to give our beagle to a group that trains beagles for search and rescue becuse everytime we opened the front door, she'd take off and not come back. I'd have to go after her and into other peoples yards, and even then she'd run off. Thank .God I run fast or else i'd never have caught her.

Just takes a lot of dilligent training. It took about 6 months. You basically gotta use a training leash, one thats only about 2 feet long, so it makes them get used to being right by you, plus when they stray, you can shake an empty soda can with a penny in it at them.. They hate that sound and they'll do almsot anything to not hear it again lol
