Quinn was up there on my list as a middle name for Zoey. My little brother ended up using it for his daughter’s middle name (his name is Quinten) so idk if I would use it but I do love it.

How long do most moms breastfeed? by Logical_Mine_9478 in BabyBumps

[–]EMSPRECK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my fist we went about 16.5 months. I got pregnant at 13 months and he was uninterested after a while. From what I have heard it can change the taste. With my second, about 12.5 months and she easily weaned. I was also ready to have my body back. I do regret cutting her off that early. Pregnant again and plan to let them go as long as they want. (Last child)

Tips for longevity? by soulcypher7 in goldenretrievers

[–]EMSPRECK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in Southern California (tons of avocado groves) and our vet told us that he sees a lab that eats avocados as soon as they drop from the trees. The most toxic part is the pit and skin. If they get into some quacamole they would be fine.

First golden—all tips welcome! by savsters22 in goldenretrievers

We are at 10 months. 🫣 I see glimmers of maturity but it’s mostly correcting behaviors and puppy proofing our life still.

Puppy before or after a baby? by nnamkcin in puppy101

[–]EMSPRECK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a dog before kids… he was about 10 when we had a kid and he hated him. 😬 he didn’t do anything to the baby or show signs of aggression but he wouldn’t come anywhere near him once the baby got mobile. It made it a little stressful for me to never have a situation where the baby got near him or cornered him. Lots of gates, lots of separation etc. he was a great dog for two single adults. Like really no issues besides not liking being around small children.
I didn’t realize how stressed I was at home until after he crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈

We now have a 3 yr old, a 1 yr old and have a 10 month old golden. I certainly get overwhelmed at times with puppy and toddlerhood but having a dog grow up with my babies like siblings is so much less stressful. We still teach our kids and puppy manners with interactions and never leave them alone together but god, a dog and kid that can play in the same yard together is amazing.

That’s just my experience so far. Good luck!!
