Asking the big questions this week on the Spicy Dog Mama Podcast. Should you really get a dog?

A friend of mine has the dilemma of her husband really wanting a dog, and she's stuck between wanting him to have that and knowing she will have to do most of the work as a stay at home month with 3 kids.

When she told me she didn't know if she even wanted one, it made me want to scream "don't do it!" As a dog lover, I will always think of what is best for the dog and they deserve to be loved and wanted, not tolerated.

Now hear me out, if they got a dog, she would love it so much. She would be an amazing dog owner. But it would be so much on her already quite full plate. It made me want to discuss the ins and outs of dog ownership and whether or not it's the right decision for everyone out there. There are so many considerations when you think about getting a dog from breeds to finances.

So on this episode, I'm playing devil's advocate and telling you why you should NOT get a dog.

Back after a long time away (again). I'm here to share deeper into how the transition into motherhood has affected my relationship with Rey & our life together.

"You're never going to love your dog the same when the baby is born" is what you always here. But that can't be true, can it? From 2019-2023 Rey was my entire world, buying her sweaters, adventuring together, putting her first always. She's my entire world, my baby. But then I had a baby. I didn't want those words to be true, I needed to make sure that I still gave Rey the love, attention, and fulfillment that she deserved!

Whether you are going through the same thing, don't ever plan on having kids, or are going through another life change, take a listen. Even just to have some grace for the dog moms in your life balancing motherhood as well.

Check out my book Rescuing Reese a story about a fearful Pitbull finding his forever home. He taught me so much and I'm forever grateful for this dog.
