We've both had dogs before..kids at the same time...now, we're both empty nesters..so we'll have time..as far as not sleeping in the bed, good luck with that..
If you've had dogs then you know the score. I have to say I wish I never got ours (beautiful as he is). Its too much responsibility for me... I love him of course but I hate the way my house is now not looking so good. I suppose we should never have let him jump on the leather sofas.
