Hello all,
My husband and I have been married for almost a year (wow, that is hard to believe) and we have been talking about having babies. Neither one of us is 100% sure that we want to have kids (more like fine if it happens, fine if it doesn''t). With that said - I have been on the baby train for about a month now. My husband thinks it is funny because one minute I say lets start trying and the next I am thinking about my career and my new house and all the traveling we want to do. So basically, I am still on the fence. I also have been talking non stop about getting a cat. He is allergic so I know it would be hard for him to adjust to (taking allergy meds). So recently I have cooled down on the cat and baby talk.
Anyway, my husband just called me at work and said he thinks we should get a dog. We haven''t talked about dogs before - except he doesn''t want to be walking some little fluffy dog around our neighborhood (hehe!). I never had pets growing up because my dad is allergic so this is new to me. DH had dogs all his life.
So here is the question - what breeds should we be looking at? We just bought a 2400 sq. foot townhome with 2 levels. DH would love a Bulldog, I am just worried about him getting up and down the stairs. Something that does not shed a lot would be idea but I am flexible. I don''t want a high maintence dog, more like a lap dog.
Any suggestions??
