I worked on my husband Craig for months to get another puppy. We already had 2 dogs then and Cocker and a Beagle. Well the Cocker had to be put down in March. He was 13 years old. Then it was like no problem getting another dog. He even drove a 7 hour drive to go pick him up and now Starsky gets to sleep with us. Craig misses him if he isn't there. It is hilarious how men can change their tune. Before there was a limit to how many dogs we can have. We were lucky to keep one, I have two dogs and now I am talking about getting a little girl yorkie and he has no qualms about that!
