I try to do more on the weekends b/c he really does most of the work on the weekdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-170858 Mon, 28 May 2012 08:08:59 +0000 mrsjyw 170858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now (prelo) we share Redeings and letting them outside duties. I clip their nails and bathe them while dh helps me... This will def have to change once LO comes. But dh is terrified of clipping their nails because he cut his childhood dogs quick and so we will prolly take them to the groomers for that portion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169903 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:06:44 +0000 lavender 169903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has mainly taken over (and I'm not complaining!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169853 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:39:27 +0000 singingbee 169853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do because hubby is out of town most of the week for work, plus she was mine before we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169850 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:17:22 +0000 erwoo 169850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband when he's home; but it's usually me during the day time but it's not a lot of work b/c we have a small dog who goes on a wee wee pad in our laundry room. She just sits by the laundry room door when she has to go so it's pretty easy. And my 3-year-old exercises her by having her chase him around the house. It's a little noisy but at least I don't have to walk her. LOL! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169848 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:04:45 +0000 regberadaisy 169848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: ditto.<br /> My mom has actually been helping a lot with our pup too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169844 Sat, 26 May 2012 12:00:57 +0000 googly-eyes 169844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a cat. We usually both do the vet appointments together but have gone separately as well. I do most of the feeding and he cleans the litter box. Cats are pretty easy! The biggest thing is the cat hair, and since I'm not working right now (grad student) that falls on me primarily (him on occasion but since he's not as picky as me it will probably always be my "thing.") </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169808 Sat, 26 May 2012 11:03:10 +0000 eeh 169808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pretty even mix. My husband's gone a lot so I end up with 100% doggie duty when that happens. When he's home he's really good about doing it, especially since we store his food down low and bending over is getting more and more difficult. We used to alternate bath time because giving him a bath can be quite a chore but now we both tackle it: I brush him before hand to get rid of any lose hair and get him in the tub because for some reason it takes my husband 30 minutes to coax him in when I can get him there on the first try. Then, my husband washes and dries him because I hate the mess and it's too hard for me to bend over the tub now. Then, I finish up with the special after bath treat. </p> <p>I take care of the vet appointments and monthly flea medicine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169795 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:29:35 +0000 chopsuey 169795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left my beloved pooch with my sister and fam in ca. He's super loved and spoiled. I miss him, but can't imagine doing a good job taking care of him+ raising my lo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169780 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:00:21 +0000 heffalump 169780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, and did before LO came. He had our pup before I came into the picture, so he's used to doing it all. I always would offer, and he'd say no he wanted to do it, so I let him. Of course if he's home late or not feeling well, I'll do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169779 Sat, 26 May 2012 09:58:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 169779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do most of the animal care, though DH gets the cat box now :P. We'll see how that changes when the baby gets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169759 Sat, 26 May 2012 09:28:40 +0000 kml636 169759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH already does most of it, so I'm sure that will continue once LO arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-takes-care-of-your-pets-1#post-169751 Sat, 26 May 2012 08:30:42 +0000 autumnlove 169751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my LO was born, DH has taken care of almost everything dog related. Who handles the majority of pet care in your home? </p>
