Adopt a dog! Although I didn't have any problems conceiving, I am of the opinion that you shouldn't really put things off while TTC. You never know when it will happen and you don't want to put off other happinesses until then!

I thought of something else this morning...
my parents had a younger dog when i was born. A doberman pincher. He was the sweetest thing, apparently. And when i was sitting against a glass window, he tried to eat me. He was extremely territorial about it and became dangerous. My parents ended up having to get rid of the dog, lest he tried to eat me. I don't believe it's a common problem, but it does exist

I say go for it. Of course you have to get the right dog that is good around kids, but it will give you something else to focus on besides TTC. LO is due in 11 weeks and my DH wants another dog (we have one very energetic one now)! I am trying to get him to wait until the baby is like 6 months old!

I love dogs and I do eventually want one, but absolutely not. I used to have one in the city and we dog sit all the time for friends so I know first hand how expensive and time consuming they are. Without a baby it's annoying enough to have to take them for walks three times a day, especially in bad weather - forget the training involved when they're puppies.
But that's just my personal opinion, I think if you're okay with all the work and the expense then there's nothing wrong with it!

We got a kitten when our baby was 3 months old. Not quite the same, but we really wanted a pet and didn't want to wait until she was older. It was all good. I know cats are less work, but I would do it. To me we feel more like a family with a pet.
