I think it will take me months to convince dh too...but I keep checking petfinder and yt, just in case the perfect little guy comes along! (an adult-not a puppy, house trained, doesn't mind a crate at night, neutered, not an excessive barker) LOL I know that is a long list...but that is the same list I had when I was looking for Olivia and she is just perfect for us.  Until then...I will just have to keep looking at everyone else's little guys!
