[QUOTE="Josie, post: 386985, member: 1792"] I hate to be a negative voice here, but I think getting a puppy now with the hope of it helping your difficult child is a mistake. I don't think her anxiety will allow her to drink a shake (or later, eat) just because there is a puppy to play with. I am more concerned the puppy will need something and you will be stuck sitting there with difficult child trying to get her to drink her shake. What if you end up having to go to Oregon? What will you do about the puppy then? And if your husband won't like it, won't that add even more strain to your marriage? I totally understand wanting to get a puppy to brighten things up. I have had those thoughts myself. My daughter is homebound and suffering, too. I realize though, at least for us, that the puppy would provide a temporary lift, but wouldn't change the overall picture. Maybe you could say to her that when she is well and strong enough to take care of a puppy, you can get one. [/QUOTE]
