Should we get a dog?



This weekend, my college friend Jori, her husband and their adorable twin three-year-old boys came to visit. They brought their dog, too, and Max basically followed her around all weekend. He was fascinated by her. I don't know what kind she was, just of the large and slurpy variety.

Over the years, several people have remarked that a dog would be "good" for Max. As far as I know, a dog is good for any kid, basically, or any family. We've been considering it.

As some of you may have heard, I am a goldfish killer wanted in 14 states. OK, I am not wanted, but I was responsible for sending our two to that big fishbowl in the sky. Obviously, it would be harder to do a dog in. But we're not sure we're up for taking on the responsibility.

I know, I know. I can't decide whether or not to have a third kid. I can't decide whether or not to get a dog. I am obviously hopelessly indecisive about little life decisions like this.

My favorite breeds of dogs are the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, above.


The Beagle


The Shih Tzu


The Bichon Frisé

The Chubby-Cheeked Tot. Oh, wait, today we're considering a dog, not a third kid.

So, wise people, what say you? Should we get a dog? Any thoughts on what kind? Or why they'd be good for Max?
