I'm thinking of trying flyball with Moxie at this new school thats opening next month. I will print off this to start her on the swimmers turn. The only difference would be I can't use the clicker (she's scared of it). I'm excited about starting flyball. I know we will probably never compete because Mox is coming up on 9 years old now, but its still a fun thing to do together. <em>Rachael's last blog post..<a href='http://riverflower.blogspot.com/2008/02/sick-kitties.html' rel="nofollow">Sick Kitties</a></em> How clever is Tatum to have picked that up so quickly.

With a 3 year old, I would recommend you wait and not get a dog right now. Your 3 year old should get all your attention, and a dog is a lot of work. Maybe when you child is older, maybe about 10 or so, and you can teach responsible pet guardianship, that would be a better time. I would, of course, recommend rescue. And adult dog would be easier to bring into the family, if you work with a rescue they will match you with a great companion. All dogs have fur... it's a myth, actually, that there is a difference. Or so I have read in the Whole Dog Journal. Some dog breeds don't have as much dander (people are allergic to the dander, not the fur) and people are not as allergic to them, if that is what concerns you. You can get a breed where the fur keeps growing, does not have a period of time that the growth shuts off... these breeds are more considered 'hair' breeds, where you have to groom and trim their fur on a regular basis. I would recommend you doing a lot of research on what breed would best match your family. If you work all day, you do not want a breed like a border collie that will need a lot of mental stimulation to remain healthy. Adopting an older, mellow dog would probably be best! Good luck!

I'm considering getting my three-year-old a dog. Any thoughts on what kind would be good for inside the house (alone for about eight hours per day) and who has hair -- not fur? That’s alot the think about.
