Sadly, He won't ..... When we married 15 years ago, he didn't want children of any sort.

He compromised 3 times, with the three Yorkies we have had. He didn't want to be tied down in any way.

We used to leave Max and Levi home alone, very very rarely for very short periods. But not often at all.

Then we stopped as Max was so distressed about it, Levi didn't mind as much,e even though they had each other for company and the radio or the TV Max would bark and cry non stop in the end. So we stopped, and one of us was always home with them.

So when we lost Max, we never ever left Levi at home, where we went he went, or we didn't go, when we got Teddy we were the same, Teddy has never ever been left alone ever, and we won't do it.

So we don't get to go out together for a meal, or day out. I don't mind at all and nor does my husband at the moment, as he loves Teddy as much as I do.

But he wants us to have some time together in the future to be free of any responsibilities and to go out and have some time as a couple.

I would rather have another fur baby.

Even a rescue, but he made it clear, when he said I could have Teddy, it would be the last one, as he hadn't wanted any. He says now that they have enriched our lives, and he has no regrets at all, not for one second, not for the three we have had, but he doesn't want to do it again.

Maybe when the time comes, and we have had some freedom, he may miss having paws around the house ......

That is my only hope ..... So I don't fancy my chances right now. I would have another now if it was up to me, but I respect he has compromised 3 times, and maybe it is time I compromise for him now. :)

No it doesn't sound silly as it would take a literal miracle for him to change his mind. We have talked about it again recently, and he will not change his mind. So I will have to enjoy every second of Teddy, and not think about the future without a dog until I am there, then I will see if I can cope with it.....

I am praying that you have many years with Teddy. Miracles do happen. Hugs

Thank you so much that is so kind of you. I will let you know when it arrives.
I don't know what to say except it means a lot to me, thank you for caring.

Hi Patti

Thank you so much, I hope so, I love him Soooo much, I have lost too many people I love this year already. He will be here for as long as he is happy to be, and is not in pain, and has a good quality of life.

As my last one, it is all the harder, especially as he is only 3 years old.

Thank you. I am off to bed now, it is 1.11am in the morning here in the UK.
Take care. Speak again soon.
