I told him when he's 10 we can look into it and he tried to negotiate by saying that he'll be ready to care for one by Christmas. He even went on his computer and tried to add a live puppy to his Amazon wish list. I love dogs but don't want to be the primary caretaker for one right now, so we're gonna hold off. Who knows, he might wear me down by next summer or he may forget about it.
I think in your situation with 2 kids who are both older than mine, they will be better suited to care for a dog and give it the attention it will need. Good luck with your decision. Maybe you can get a dog that will herd for you once you become a real Texan and get some livestock.
