Dog or 3rd child? And if dog, what breed?
 

I have been trying to convince my wife to get a family dog. She says that if we do, we have to stop with the 2 children we have (ages 5 and 2) and get a vasectomy. Even so I am having a hard time convincing her its a good idea. She thinks they are too much work. (like kids aren't!)

I am thinking that if I introduce her to some cute puppies she'll have a change of heart. It would have to be a medium sized dog thats good with kids.

Which would you rather have, kid or dog?

Anyone got a plan for how to convince her to get the dog?

What breed of dog would you all recommend?

Just how brutal is getting a vasectomy, anyway?

Dressing up the third child as a dog is an option. I don't think it reallly solves the problem, though.

My mom has said on my occasions:

"If I knew how easy dogs were twenty years ago, I would have had two dogs and one kid." (Instead of the other way around).

She is only half kidding.

Seriously, get a dog. I recommend the West Highland Terrier.

Clearly the correct play is to get the dog, pretend to have a vasectomy, and then have her pump out another kid.

Alternatively, you could have the 3rd kid first, bring home the dog, and then threaten to tell the kids it was mommy's fault their new puppy had to leave if she says no.

Shes a lawyer, she'll try and sue the doctor for medical malpractice.

I could try the surprise! I brought a dog home trick, but then I think she'll withhold sex for a long time. So then I'm choosing between the dog and sex.

Hey now - he wanted to know how to get a pup and a 3rd kid. Nobody ever said anything about maximizing PV.

I think you should get a dog. Labradors are awesome.

I know nothing about wives or vasectomies.
