I am a childless person but adopted a dog 6 years ago. I more than love her but her health issues have definately changed my life. She has chirosis of the liver and requires many medications ($$$) but I wouldn't change it for the world. She is thriving and in good health right now - but as my "kid" I am giving her the life she deserves. You'll find the right mind frame to decide what you really want to do. At 47 I almost (but not quite) wish I had a child.</p> Ah Fish I can totally relate to your post. I am a childless person but adopted a dog 6 years ago.

I noticed that you said to start with you felt icky to begin with so I'm not sure why so many people got so incensed about the injured furry friend and your taking care of him. They're members of the family too...they just shed more. You're a good person and someday, the dog will have the chance to puke in your shoes and move over slightly so that he doesn't to show his thanks for all that you do :)</p><br /><br /><p>And as for the uncertainty of breeding--I'm in the same spot. Between Brad and I, we have four dogs, three cats, and a chinchilla. Where the hell would we PUT a child? I'm a teacher and tho I love borrowing kids for 8 hours a day (ok..I love it almost every day, but I won't lie..there are SOME days I wish I was bagging groceries or in my own cubicle with a red stapler.), I cannot imagine leaving my 24 school kids and coming home to some of my own. The furry things meeting me at the door every day is enough for now.</p><br /><br /><p>I'm spending my 3 day weekend catching up on reading my favorite blogs--feel loved! You were the first one I wanted to read! :)</p><br /><br /><p>Best wishes to you and the furs :) </p> Dear Fish,

Definitely an interesting set of comments :P

Please know that I applaud you for staying home and taking care of the furry and pukey beast. I noticed that you said to start with you felt icky to begin with so I’m not sure why so many people got so incensed about the injured furry friend and your taking care of him. They’re members of the family too…they just shed more. You’re a good person and someday, the dog will have the chance to puke in your shoes and move over slightly so that he doesn’t to show his thanks for all that you do :)

And as for the uncertainty of breeding–I’m in the same spot. Between Brad and I, we have four dogs, three cats, and a chinchilla. Where the hell would we PUT a child? I’m a teacher and tho I love borrowing kids for 8 hours a day (ok..I love it almost every day, but I won’t lie..there are SOME days I wish I was bagging groceries or in my own cubicle with a red stapler.), I cannot imagine leaving my 24 school kids and coming home to some of my own. The furry things meeting me at the door every day is enough for now.

I’m spending my 3 day weekend catching up on reading my favorite blogs–feel loved! You were the first one I wanted to read! :)

Best wishes to you and the furs :)

From the OH MY Heather are you and DL sure about the no kids thing --- WOW peeps, let them get married and settle (even more than the living together thing, it really does change things even though it shouldn't. Weird that way). To the OMG, Heather How DARE YOU evolve --- seriously??? Last I checked that is what happens when you get older, more mature and well changes happen. And then the whole YOU MISSED VACATION FOR HIM...didn't you explain in a recent post that your boss was in no way shape or form allowing you to borrow vacation time?? </p><br /><br /><p>Maybe I am just crazy...but this one the comments are worth the poor puppy post I think (and poor you too, I know what it feels like, I have been a single mom since boyo was 2 and the exe was non-existent since birth). :)</p> hmmmmm…the comments are very interesting for this post.
