Yes of course Pets are fam you know.

I'll have to take one later. Unfortunately I can't tell you her name since my DD changes it daily. I just call her birdie now.

Everyone has such cute dogs. I told my DD we can get one in about a year. Any suggestions for a dog for an 8 year old? Well she will be 9 or 10 when we get one.

Labradors are wonderful. Both dogs I have owned have been labs.

If I were looking for something smaller I would have a king charles cavilear spaniel.

Speaking from experience, you should really research different breeds. You need to take into account your lifestyle (active/low key), living situation (large house/small apt) and expense. Some dogs are really expensive to care for with vetting and grooming.
Then I vote that you look for that dog in a shelter/ rescue center instead of a puppy mill/ pet store.

Thanks! I opened the account and uploaded a few pictures. But, it looks like I need a couple more posts before I can include a link. As I get more involved in the boards, I'm sure that'll happen.

We will definitely go to the pound, I don't think I have ever gotten a pet from the pet store except for my bird.

My biggest issue with a lot of the rescue groups is it would be easier to adopt a child than to get them to let you have a dog, I have heard some horror stories

I've adopted from the pound here before. Had good luck except for one poor little sick kitty...and I don't even want to go there. But otherwise, have had good luck and know many others who have as well.

100% agree.
I tried to adopt a Greyhound one time, after a visit from an anal retentive woman who gave me a list of things to modify in my house (fencing, stairs, wood floors etc) she still wasn't happy. We spent thousands of dollars...never again!!!

I've had good experience with adoptions from the pound. I adopted a great kitten, probably about 20 years ago. And the dog five and a half years ago. But I usually only have one pet at a time. More attention to the pet, and less family squabbles between the animals

I had a home check when I got George from Cat Rescue... this time around, the cat adopted me. (She still isnt "my" cat though) but she has free reign of house basically... which is generally my bed.

Yep, that's my method... forget pet stores and pounds... just hang out in the park long enough, and a pet will find you! (that's how I got my first ferret)
