Today on life with kiddo: Kiddo: (out of nowhere) I don't want a dog, actually. (She's asked for one before on occasion.) Me: Oh? Why is that? K: I don't want something that will have fleas on it. M: Well, there are medications you can put on a dog to make sure it doesn't get fleas. K: Oh. beat Can I have a dog?
We have our hands full taking care of a 1 year old and a 4 year old. No way are we adding the demands that a dog would put on us to that equation. Ask when you're older, kid.
