Remember, Dave...no matter what they say or how much they whine, YOU are gonna end up cleaning up and taking care of that dog! They don't realize it yet, but they are lying through their teeth. When they see how much poop can come out of a dog, they will be grossed out and will leave it all up to YOU. If you do get the dog, get one YOU will like, because, trust and believe, after the first few steaming piles, it will be YOUR dog!
DON'T DO IT! Been there done that with teens! It's cute and fun for DAY ONE. THEEEEEENNNN, it's your 3rd child with NEEDS for the rest of it's life. Let GROWN children get their OWN dog when they GET grown!
My boys were there age when we got a border collie shepherd mix. He ended up the best friend in my life and my third child. We walked alot morning and night. Get a shelter 1 and up. My Taz is missed every second of every day. 15 yrs of love.
Don't do it! The kids will be over the dog in a couple of weeks. Remember...when the girls go to college....it's all YOU! Vet bills. Dog grooming bills. Boarding bills when you go on vacation. Unt unnnnn! No no no no.
Trust me David. We are watching. I stopped everything to watch you guys. Waiting for the reality show. Do it, as long as it doesn't break up your beautiful family. Lol
I agree with going to the animal shelters and adopting a dog that already needs a good home. Any “pure bred” dog you guys purchase will have some form of health issues.
Don't do it. My husband and I spent $1500.00 for a dog after our kids begged us to get one. That dog became my husband and my dog. It was a lot of work.
LOL, David you are not going to win this one. They are going to get a cute dog and you are probably not going to like it so just go with it. LOL, I am trying to get my husband to let me get a small one and it always results in this, "you want a little one and I want a medium-size one so we will get two". Heck no so we do not have a dog and just visit with them when we see them in the neighborhood. Be well stay safe and you have a beautiful family!!!!
Funny how kids want a dog but can't clean their room, lol. I have a cat never wanted one but though we all would scoop the poop and now we have had a cat not the same cat but one from the litter of the cat that eventually ran off or someone took it because it wandered around the housing complex. I know have grown to like the cat and basically the only one to clean up the litterbox. Now my daughter wants a dog and we ain't having that because I already know how it will work out. She bought a hamster and is doing okay with it but nope we ain't having no dogs in here, it ain't that kind of apartment for it.
Cats are better. I love dogs but too much like children lol cats are like having a awesome roommate who you feed and clean up after but they're so funny it's worth it.
They’re lying about taking care of that dog all kids say that until it’s there they live on the dog dress it up play with it and leave the rest to parents, trust me I know, and as soon as they can drive they spend even less time with the dog because their friends take over!
hey David, I wouldn't discount that Instagram account for the dog, make lots of money, get him a little agent, have the dog doing Pedigree & Puppy Chow commercials..... cha-ching cha-ching $$$$$$...... Additional income ÀAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND lovable cuteness, and homie! 😁 ijs
