Meg-- That is such a great quote.
Vilette--
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband and what he is going through. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. I know that it must be a very difficult time for you and a very difficult decision to make. I, personally, would advise that you just sit him down and talk to him about it. It could be a totally different reason than what you originally thought of why he wants the puppy. Perhaps, he sees how you are always on Yorkie forums, how you always speak about your gorgeous babies, how much you love them and how all-in-all.. you love puppies and dogs. Maybe, it could be that the puppy isn't for him but he wants to see you happy and worry-free. I know that you guys are uncertain of when or even
if he is passing away. It could be that he doesn't want you to think about him passing or how much time he has left and the only way to do that is to replace it with the thing that you love second best.. your passion for dogs. It would ease the pain and deter any bad thoughts just to occupy the both of you.
Your husband sounds like such a caring guy and you seem like such a selfless person. If you do have the extra money for another puppy's vet bills, I would consider getting another one because it will make you happy, and it will make your husband happier to see you happy. My belief is that happiness outweighs
anything else in life. And it makes happiness even greater when everyone loves everything else unconditionally.
Like fasteddie said, perhaps you could get family and friends involved and if, at any time, three dogs gets a little too much for you they will be willing to watch over them for a little bit while you get everything together.
I hope my reply helped. And I will be praying for you, Vilette. I think you deserve another puppy. And I think your husband would love to see you smile, laugh, tell him funny stories and be happy as would all of us.
