Keeping a dog

We have been talking to keep a dog.. gave hus a green light last year as I feel that it might not be an bad idea although I very scare of dogs. Heard about Dog therapy can help to bring joy and laughter into this household and hope it takes away our negativative and balance our life. 

We was so near to adopt a 2 yrs old Tsu shu but just before we confirm the dog, janelle was hospitalised. After that we didn't come across any dogs that we think it suit us and slowly none of us brought this up again. 

Till yesterday, my bro bring his dog over and hus took out dog water bowl, comb etc from store room which I have totally no idea about then I realized that he was serious. Hmmmm...
