[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 530755, member: 2211"] Be prepared to be the main caregiver of this dog. Do research and find out which type of dog is the right fit for your family and lifestyle. Be sure that your kids are on board with caring for a dog....don't surprise them. There are no guarantees that an older dog will instinctively know how to settle in with your family and be well trained and ready to go. I'm with DDD on this-now may not be the right time. Dogs are a lot of work and time consuming. Also, if difficult child freaked out the cat, why wouldn't he freak out a small dog. I have small dogs and they can be quite skittish. I'm not trying to discourage you, but just be sure you're sure. Getting a dog when difficult child was little was helpful,but she wasn't always at her best with him and I carried the load for his care most of the time, heck, all of the time. [/QUOTE]
