[blparent] leaving family to get a dog guide

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

What do you mean "ease people into the idea"
I ask because if you have to convince people you need a dog, and these people also live in the house with you and baby, this will not end well.

They probably won't be as helpful as they would be if they were on board from the beginning.

Honestly, if I had three weeks of time and I was okay being away from my kid, I'd have about amillion things I'd rather do then get a dog. And I've had two dogs so I say this with some experience

Jessica, that's not a bad idea.
What school are you going to, if I may ask?
The more I think about it, the more I really want a new dog. I think
I'll start trying to ease everyone into the idea of a new guide for me
once my son gets to be six months, and we'll see what happens from
there. I kind of wish I had the option to do what you're doing, to go
to training when my son is somewhere around six to eight months old,
because I'm afraid that once he becomes a toddler the entire idea of
separation anxiety will kick in and that'll make things more
difficult. I imagine that because an infant is still not as aware of
his surroundings, he would miss his mommy a little less than a toddler
who is more aware.
