More dog stuff

We are considering a family dog as we move to a smaller city. We anticipate having a bigger yard for our dog to run in. We currently live in a very large city with limited space. And even more important, we have limited time to spend with the dog. But we are anticipating a slower lifestyle and believe that there will be more time for pets in our family. Our kids are so-so on the idea of a doggie in the house. But they have visited many houses with pets and are growing warmer toward the idea. Initially, our daughter was afraid of dogs. She would see a K-9 on the street and want to cross to the other side. She was never bitten or attacked, but she just never got comfortable. But we think she is still young enough to change her opinion if she spent any significant time with dogs. book
