I've read the posts on this topic - I agree with joint decisions on major purchases, and long term commitments. A dog is both!. Adding a third dog to the household isn't just about additional food/vet/grooming etc, expense. It may change how/when/where you travel - the vacations you take etc. We have three dogs now, and it's quite a commitment of time and energy. We have 2 large dogs and one small one. I couldn't do this alone. My hubby helps out with the washing and walking of our dogs. Helps me take them to the shows - he does sometimes feels like a BOB.

You know your husband best and should be able to foretell his reaction to a "surprise" addition.

Best of luck with your decision
