Dog is like part of the family to take good care. They remove your stress and makes you feel happy to see them. I also love dogs they are fun to be with.

If I do decide on getting a dog, I will definitely go to rescue groups first. My friend got her Cocker Spaniel pups from a rescue group, and I got Hagi, my cat, from a shelter. <3 Thanks everyone for the informative comments!

Then your kids can grow up with the dog together. And you can find dog walkers and other people with dogs to watch the dog. It isn't that hard. Plus, your kids will be old enough soon to at least walk the dog down the street and back and pick up the poop. And Danielle is right, please adopt a dog. There are so many that are put to sleep it is very depressing. You should adopt a puppy/dog if you can. Then your kids can grow up with the dog together.

If you are prone to spontaneous overnight stays away from home, I would forgo the dog for now, unless you have a reliable neighbor who is willing to help you out. Dogs, and especially puppies, are a ton more work than cats and I don't know if I could go back to doing all of that.<br><br>If you do decide to get a dog, please seriously consider adopting one from a rescue group or shelter. If you go with a rescue group, you will (1) save a life, (2) get a dog whose personality is already known by its foster home, and (3) allow another animal to be rescued by vacating a spot in the packed shelters and rescue organizations. There are several great dog rescues in the area, and if you're looking for a particular breed, there's probably a breed rescue group too.

He was cage trained so he slept in a small cage at night or she'd put him in there if she couldn't take him where she was going. He was really great with my daughter (she was around 1 at the time). Plus chihuahuas stay small so no worries about having to deal with a large dog once it grows up. :) My sister once had a long-haired chihuahua and I have to say that boy was damn cute!
