Time goes by
But Hayden and her husband were not the most motivated people to go immediately and get a dog, it would take time to organize. Also, this meant that they needed to go down to the shelter and look for a dog. They decided to wait a bit before they made a commitment.
They also didn’t know whether or not it was a good idea just yet. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, letting the baby grow up a bit alone and just with them. They didn’t want to jump the BB and commit themselves to an animal that perhaps they were not ready for.
