There's definitely more to clean up after but the joy and unconditional love they bring to your family makes it worth the extra work. We have a purebred Chocolate Labrador that I bought after my first husband passed away so the boys would have something happy to look forward to. He's going to be nine this year. So hard to believe. We also adopted our neighbors' dog about five years ago. They paid $1,000.00 for this little cockapoo (part cocker spaniel and part poodle) and a couple of months later they decided they didn't want him anymore. He's a great little dog. Hypo-allergenic. But he LOVES to dig holes and tinkles in the house every so often. He's gotten much better with the tinkling but the holes have gotten worse!!! : ) Oh well. We love him. He suckered us in!!! LOL!!! Best of luck. I say GO FOR IT!!!! xoxo<br /><br />~ WendyWendy McDonagh-Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960081613348728607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15475469.post-40254505616481002092014-06-30T23:54:12.534+10:002014-06-30T23:54:12.534+10:00Go for it!

Your kids are old enough to seriously participate in the care of a pet and they will get so much from a sweet dog!

The joy she brings is worth the work involved in having a pet. Molly is a moodle which is a cross between a maltese and a poodle. She doesn't shed at all but does need grooming which doesn't happen a lot here but she gets clipped every 7-8 weeks depending on the time of the year. When we go away we have found there are a reasonable amount of pet friendly accommodation which we are happy to try and find so she can come with us. Anyway best of luck deciding and like anything it is scary at first but it just becomes normal after a while.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314373295390794669noreply@blogger.com
