With young children, you have to be more careful with picking a breed and the temperment of the individual dog. The rescues should be able to help you out with that. (Even if they recommend all kids over age 5, you can still do it with young children, it just takes more vigilience.) Small dogs are no less work than big dogs. I recommend a short haired dog to minimize the required grooming time and the shedding does't pile up as much. With any new addition, there are going to be ups and downs, discipline is very important and your kids will get knocked down and about, but I personally think that is part of being a kid. (My son is 20 months.) We have a word trained for the dogs to go away/back off......This is helpful when they are being too rough or if they are being too abused by my son, we say "go" and they walk off. This offers space and the easy ability to head issues off. Sit or down would work too. However if you are not ready to spend the time training......you should probably wait some more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276331714843609884.post-7251428822681828322012-02-27T16:31:08.587-06:002012-02-27T16:31:08.587-06:00BTW Rachel - I love your blog, I added it to my bl...BTW Rachel - I love your blog, I added it to my blog list here.Ten Coffee Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827343045078444332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276331714843609884.post-89057176855691361432012-02-27T16:29:49.972-06:002012-02-27T16:29:49.972-06:00Good for you.

I remember my own SAHM in the 80's spending a lot of time watching soap operas and suntanning in the backyard! It seems to me though that most parents who stay home with their kids these days really throw themselves into it and dedicate themselves to the job. I did for three years as a stay-at-home auntie for my nieces (I lived with them and was with them nearly 24/7) so I know its a TOUGH job... rewarding, but exhausting! :)Angel The Alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158672957404194956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276331714843609884.post-7195282364013150802011-05-27T09:30:36.065-05:002011-05-27T09:30:36.065-05:00Thanks!
