Much much easier to train/deal with a puppy, plus it's cuter and will end up much closer to you, than dealing with a fully grown dog who by the sounds of it isn't even properly house trained? Very disagree. I don't have time to take a puppy out every 2 hours (even at night) or housebreak/crate train it. Working with existing issues on an already trained dog that knows how to hold its pee and can sleep the night in a crate without breaking down is much easier imo. | ||

Also I'm not 100% sure that's the case. Puppy training is absolutely some work but it many cases it can be easier than dealing with a dog with emotional/social problems from being abused/abandoned or poorly trained. If being housebroken is your major concern then sure I guess, but there's often just just lot more to it with older dogs. | ||

Hence the stress. | ||

you just need a second dog to play with so they dont demand your attention much at all getting only 1 dog especially if you live in a city doesn't seem like an amazing idea since you're the only fun they get all day plus work and stuff well if you have a wife and kids staying at home its fine but otherwise idk | ||

Makes any issues they cause much easier to deal with :p And they're guaranteed to trust and love you unconditionally within a month. Seems like much less work than trying to rehabilitate an older dog. Heard way too many shelter horror stories.  From personal experience, most people I know who learned to love dogs did so by being seduced by a cute fluffy puppy. Nippiness can be a bit overwhelming for some larger breeds though | ||

Hence the stress. don't worry women get chemically forced to love their kid while it exits their birth canal (and for a bit after birth) so she really won't have much of a choice there. fun fact that's mostly the reason c-sections still aren't the norm even after most other side-effects have been successfully eliminated. | ||

Also helped if the mother doesn't have any pain meds during the birth either. Pain based sunk cost fallacy, saving the human race. | ||

Ya scip is looking for true love on a solid foundation of 'the implication.' I mean not that he would actually do it but, you know... just the implication. | ||

Also I know this is pretty facetious but I have to comment anyway, post partum depression is also chemicals at work, and it's no joke. Obviously req you're going to make your family decisions on your own and you don't need to consider what any of us nerds have to say about your life, I just want to make sure that's out there. | ||

That's if it doesn't work out for her. Don't be one of those jerks that pushes her enough so she "changes her mind". | ||

But I don't want her to make a snap judgement and then regret it, I don't think the shelter will be ok if we're like "I know we just returned this dog but we decided we actually want to keep him, sorry". If she's really out I'll be behind her, but she also made a decision so we're just going to see it through, at least for a little bit. | ||
