That's pretty much how I ended up with BOTH of mine. Hubby isn't much of a dog person, but he didn't have too much to say when I brought 'em home!
But then again... He can be a pushover when it comes to stuff I want and I'm 100% responsible for their care and any costs involved with it....
What do you think your husband would do if he came home one day and there's all of a sudden another pup??! |
he would just fall in love with it too. That is what I did with Kizzy. I just went one day when he was at work and bought her. He had no idea. I did the same thing years ago with our pekingnese and he loved that dog more than I did, I think. Matter of fact, he has NEVER bought a dog. Its always been me.
That is probably what I will end up doing one day. He knows me well enough to know I will too. I've done it with other things also, once its done he might say, "now, why did you do that"and I say because I wanted to. and that ends that. But I give him fair warning months in advance by asking for it.
He is NOT a dog lover either and he hates them pottying inside, but when I get one he is a push over and even takes it out in the mornings when he is off and lets me sleep. Then with Kizzy he will bring her back to the bedroom later and lets her jump up on the bed and wake me while he stands and laughs at her licking my face and neck and jumping all over me. He is a big guy and is so manly up front but inside he is a big teddy bear or a woose. lol
Except with that one dog I gave to a little girl, he hated that dog and I didnt care for it either, it was just soooooooooooo hyper. So we both agreed to give it away and he was the one who found the taker for it, not me. So we lost money there and I even gave her the leashes, the carrier, the dog food, and collar and toys, everything the dog ever had. Then he said no more dogs in the house. So when I got Kizzy I had to buy everything over again, But now, I have extra beds, carriers, plenty of toys, plenty of food, and extra harnesses and leashes. So all i'd have to do with a new one is the shot stuff and have it spayed. As I want another girl.
I've tried to explain that to him too, but he says we dont need another puppy now that Kizzy is almost totally house trained.
But I will bet with anyone, I will get another, one way or the other. With or without his blessing so to speak. lol
