I would say "but honey there is a crazy lady on YT that has six dogs! I want a third." If I were smart I wouldn't have 6. But I wouldn't trade any of them for anything in the world. I have a good way of convincing my hubby. Just bribe him with something he has been wanting. Even if it puts you in debt
LMBO Say if I can get my Yorkie you can have that (fill in the blank) you've wanted for so long. LOL
or always "you promised me if you don't let me get my Yorkie I will never trust anything you say ever again"
With my hubby:
I started out with Bridgette and Bandit
my husband wanted a cocker so in entered the third, Lizzie.
Husband said "ok no more"
My husband had told me for years I could have my first Pug when we moved into our first home. Well just like a child I NEVER forgot. We moved into our first home and I said "Honey you promised" so entered harley the fourth.
He put his foot down NO MORE!
Then Bridgette had a litter and got seriously depressed when her babies left so we kept Teddy the last of the litter. Because We HAD to keep one for her, or she'd never forgive us.
He SERIOUSLY put his foot down absolutely NO MORE!
Then I just fell head over heal in love with my pug and HAD to have another. His mommy and daddy were expecting a litter so I HAD to have a girl.
He said now "I'm not kidding no more, or I'm moving out!"
I'm thinking about adding another little Yorkie girl or maybe a Cavalier spaniel! LOL
There is always something that they will be willing to negotiate for. LOL
