I have gone through some of the same situations with my husband...we started with 1 dog. Next, it was 2. Each time DH said "H&@! NO, no more dogs...." He was not a dog person and was raised with dogs belonging outside and basically no animals allowed in the house. I have rescued and rehomed a few dogs here and there. DH hates it on one hand but says he loves me more because of it on the other hand.
Now, we have 4 dogs (2 - 65 lb. English Bulldogs & 2 - Yorkies). Both Yorkies were rescue situations. When I got the first yorkie, he said find her a home before the week is up. That was about 3 months ago (and she is sleeping with us and he takes her riding and on trips more than I do....) Then, Saturday we got our male yorkie from a wonderful home and wonderful people. They were moving and could not take him. My husband said as long as you rehome him within the next 2-3 days that is fine. After seeing him and how loving Ramzy is, he said "I guess he can stay since he fits in so well"....Oh, he also sleeps in our bed! My husband has nicknamed him "Batman" because of his very large ears! My husband tries to be tough but the little fur babies have won him over....I never thought we would have a dog sleeping in our bed. That was always his one rule....NO DOGS IN OUR BED! The bulldogs sleep in crates mostly due to their size and they take up so much room....But, now we have 2 little yorkies in our bed....It is so cute.
Go ahead and get the pup! Ask for forgiveness later! It is hard to say no to a little loving face after you get a few kisses! |
