Then the criticism should be that they shouldn’t be buying a dog yet, not the size of the dog. You don’t get a dog that fits the future you plan to have, you get one that works for the reality you live in.lmmomSD wrote: I would agree with you except that we pretty much know that they're planning on building a bigger house, and Bonnie has consistently shown that vanity trumps "what's best for the family". Her squealing at the dog and immediately buying and posting a picture of a "cute dog purse"and taking the puppy with her on the road trip to get her eyebrows done instead of leaving her with the kids pretty much shows me that this wasn't a purchase guided by what is the "best dog for the family". And she and Ellie talk about "country living" with the property (at least Ellie does) and Bonnie scoffed at people who told her to be careful with the dog out on the property, so she definitely isn't thinking about what is best for the dog. Especially if she's "grooming her" herself. She isn't a dog groomer. Why not make an appointment for someone to come to the house? They do that-- and we k know she's not above throwing money away. She would probably catch grief for doing that, but having a professional take care of grooming the dog is one thing I actually wouldn't judge her for.

Let’s be honest, when they didn’t plan to get a dog people argued the kids were deprived. If they had bought a lab, or even a midsize mutt people would have said that they should have gotten a smaller dog with their small house. I don’t think there is a “perfect” dog as far as this board goes. If they like the dog they got, then it’s the perfect one for them.
Decisions aren’t always as “one size fits all” as we try to act like they are on these boards.
