You know, when I wanted another yorkie (we already had Ginger, Kirby and Mr. Fun Kitty) dh thought I was nuts. Of course, I wanted to rescue, so I had to bring him on board. I did over months of pestering....he's happier with our animals now more than ever. Bernie really added the right thing to the mix. (although, dh still calls me the crazy dog lady
)
Good luck!
