Well always have at least one dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122575 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:09:59 +0000 MamaMoose 122575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pup now who will hopefully be around for another ten years or so. At that point I don't know if we'll get another one. I do think having animals who need care in your home is a great way to teach kids some responsibility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122572 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:06:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 122572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a cat, and plan to get a dog in the future. I don't agree with the idea of getting pets FOR kids though (except maybe fish). Any animals we get are just family pets, owned by the entire family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122512 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:19:54 +0000 mediagirl 122512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two dogs but they are SO high maintenance. I'm so done with dogs when our two pass away someday in the far away future. Our LO will have the experience of dogs when she is little. We can't get cats because my husband is allergic. :( I miss having cats. They're so EASY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122470 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:22:16 +0000 aunt pol 122470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Already have two dogs, and to be honest I have difficulty with the idea of getting a pet FOR a child. Our dogs will be very near equals with the kids:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122320 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:10:00 +0000 Andrea 122320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably only something lower maintenance....like a fish tank. Although that still requires work. I would rather not have any pets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122312 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:00:13 +0000 looch 122312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is obsessed with dogs, but I doubt we'll ever get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122268 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:03:06 +0000 MsMamaBear 122268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. One child is enough to clean up after, not adding a dog to the mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-122260 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:48:06 +0000 Arden 122260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a dog, for me! :) I told DH yesterday that I want him to get me a big dog that I'll name Sherlock.</p> <p>We have decided however, not to have indoor pets. We'll probably have a few outdoor ones though, when LO's come along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-120646 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 01:54:30 +0000 BSB 120646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a dog and hope she is still around for a good number of years after our kids are born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-120233 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:19:47 +0000 Minnie_Girl 120233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! I am fleabag-free by choice. At most, we'll have one very tidy cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-120209 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:14:53 +0000 SAHM0811 120209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and will probably get a second one in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-planning-on-getting-pets-for-your-los#post-120175 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:08:31 +0000 heffalump 120175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have a dog.

We have really really wanted to get her a companion so we are hoping when LO is a little older to get a puppy.
