Hi..We just got a puppy 2 weeks ago she was 6wks old and is a black lab pointer cross. We've decided to let her have at least one litter before we spay her..I had heard that this is healthy and makes for a better dog???
Our four kids love our Jessie..We had the hardest time picking a name!!
I used to be an animal person before we had kids and then the busyness of kids took over and I had no use for more work from an animal!! I must say though that this little girl has found a place in my heart!!!And our bed!!!!
The first night I let the dog in the bed was because she was whinning and I wanted to sleep so I just put her in our bed...As I was doing this...I was reminded of a conversation I had with myself at least 4 times before...hmmmmm..Do you really want to start this habit with the baby sleeping with us??? and aren't we going to spoil him/her if they sleep with us???..etc....I laughed to myself and reminded myself this was a dog!!!!! of course she can sleep with us!!!LOL
Tammy.
