First of all, GOOD FOR YOU for standing your ground, knowing your stuff and not letting her scam you!
Life is also hectic for us and I want Sully to have a sibling sooo badly now, but like you, we're newlyweds and if buying the dog was the only expense it wouldn't be so bad, but those initial vet bills are the kicker, IMO. But we can do it, and want to....but we too question if it's the right thing right now. I wish it was...we're still considering.
I love love love my Sully. I often wondered that if I got a puppy, I would ignore Sully more. Poor guy, he's my heart I don't want to do that. But we puppy sat Marty on Sunday and even though I had a cute puppy in the house...Sully was still "my boy" - I worked on Sit and Shake with little Marty and Sully sat on the sidelines shaking his paw at Marty every time I said "shake" - how could I EVER love that any less????? heehee |
