The other day I was at Farm and Fleet and I heard chirping. When I explored I found 4 big galvanized (watering things for cattle) with baby chicks and turkeys. Of course I had to stop and watch for a while. I noticed that one of the chicks was laying on its back and the others were walking all over it. I moved it to a corner and kept an eye on it. After a while it moved out the center of the container and was immediately pecked on by one of the other chicks. I then scooped it up and found an employee, telling him that that poor little thing was going to die if he didn't keep it away. I was soooo tempted to buy it just to rescue but I had to let it go because it was livestock and we aren't set up for it. I kinda thought it might die anyway and more than likely the employee would put it right back in with the the rest of the chicks. I called my dh on the way home and told him I almost brought a baby chick home and explained the circumstances. He tried to talk me in to going back and getting it.
Now you have to understand...We have 4 Yorkies and cat. Dh says no more animals""" Every time I bring up the subject he swears that we will eventually have only two dogs because four are a lot to handle for him.
I tell you this because if I brought a puppy (ANY breed) home he would let me keep it and love it just as much as I would.
I think your dh will be fine with it.
Congrats on your decision! I envy you for the fun you are going to have. |
