It's about 80% him and 20% me. </p> <p>I'm not sure how it will go when we have a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-373501 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:59:46 +0000 ladyfingers 373501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH already mostly takes care of the dog. He took over walking her in the morning a few weeks ago once my hip got really bad and the extra sleep really helps! It's also already hard for me to bend over so he gets her food, water, etc. I feel kinda bad, but I still cuddle with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-373197 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:37:42 +0000 autumnlove 373197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-373185 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:36:04 +0000 prettylizy 373185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure picked up a lot of slack with the dogs when LO came along. He is in charge of feeding them breakfast and letting them out in the morning before he leaves for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-373175 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:33:38 +0000 meredithNYC 373175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably still 50/50 with us. My husband takes her out in the morning before work, then I'm responsible for walks during the day, and he takes her out for her last break before bed. I have to say, as sad as I am to be leaving the city, I am delighted that we will soon have a yard. We'll definitely still take the dog on walks, but far, far fewer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-373157 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:31:02 +0000 Meridian 373157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Haha, I have a feeling we'll be the same way once we have a LO!! DH has been pushing for a second dog and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT, especially since we are TTC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-372937 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:26:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 372937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH takes care of our cats 99% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-pets-post-baby#post-372914 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:20:11 +0000 mrsjyw 372914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we're 50/50 on dog duty. Thankfully we have a fenced in yard and we feed them 2x a day, so it's minimal.</p> <p>Since I'm working remote until L&amp;D, I'm taking the dogs to their annual exam on Monday to get that out of the way before baby.</p> <p>Post-baby, I have a feeling DH will end up taking over 99% of dog duty! </p>
