First, has anyone used the Summer Soothing Baby Spa and Shower? Or at least I think that's what it's called. I just received one in the mail from my little sister and brother's girlfriend as a late Christmas present and I'm totally excited about it so I wan to know other's experiences with it? I realize it's not all necessary but I don't mind that :).
Second, my husband and I have been wanting to adopt a dog. We've searched and searched and finally found one at a shelter but the owner claimed it on the last day so we didn't get to take it. We've kept searching, came close to adopting another one but decided not to.
Yesterday we fell in love with a litter of 8 week old puppies. I really didn't want a puppy because I'd have to train it. My husband wanted one but decided against it for the same reason. Now we're seriously considering getting one.
I've had pets all my life, even did rescue before we moved here. I've raise puppies and trained them as well as dogs. I worked in an animal hospital until I got pregnant so I know what it takes to care for one. I know I can do it, I'm just really hesitant. People give me the whole "baby might be allergic", but we'll deal with that if she is. I'm not worried about aggression until I have a reason to be, and these puppies have no signs of it and neither do their parents.
So I guess what I'm asking is... Was your first child significantly harder because you had a puppy at the same time? The usual reasons aren't my main concern, like "you won't give your dog enough attention".
Any experiences? I would elaborate more but just got a strong desire to vaccuum so I'm going to do that instead :).
