Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Does anyone have advice about getting a dog? I am unsure if I should get one for my son 4, and daughter, 16. Do they really lower people's blood pressure? Hearing of any experiences you've all had would be helpful. Thanks, Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Kel, I used to hate dogs, never had one before, then my kids convinced me to get one. I couldn't get over how cute this puppy was and now, I love her to death and couldn't picture life without her! Just do a lot of research about what type to get (personalities, etc.). We ended up getting a Jack Russell/ German Sheperd mix.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi, We have a standard poodle(the big one) and absolutely love him. Our children are 1 and 2 and our dog is 2and a half. We got a standard dog because they are hypo-allergenic. They don't have fur they have wool which if you brush out you can spin and knit with. Also they don't shed and are amaxing with children. My two love their dog and use him as a jungle gym and he plays right along with them. Good luck on your dog purchase. Melanie P.S. yes they do lower blood pressure. My husband used to be on medication for his blood pressure but does not need it any longer since we have gotten our dog. > " Amelia Gerlach " <ameliagerlach > > >RE: Hello, I'm thinking about getting a dog >Wed, 23 Feb 2005 08:32:10 -0500 > >Kel, I used to hate dogs, never had one before, then my kids convinced me >to >get one.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I want to add that I think they are great for depression. My dog Shelby is my therapist (ha ha). No, seriously, she makes me feel so much better just by her peaceful presence and unconditional affection. sentto-12621366-793-1109175423-ameliagerlach=hotsheet.com oo.com [sentto-12621366-793-1109175423-ameliagerlach=hotsheet.com oups.] On Behalf Of melanie guay Wednesday, February 23, 2005 11:16 AM RE: Hello, I'm thinking about getting a dog Hi, We have a standard poodle(the big one) and absolutely love him.
