I really really really want to get a dog. I've been thinking about this for a while, so it's not like it's an impulse decision or anything. I've found a couple online that I really like. One is a blond Lab/Akita mix named Teddy. I really like him.
At first, when I asked my husband, the answer was a flat out No. So I waited, asked him again, but this time he would smile when he said no. I show him pictures, tell him about friends with puppies, so now he doesn't exactly say no anymore, but he still hasn't said yes. So I told him I was going to email a couple people about the dogs I found online. Then he said he would rather get a puppy, and that he would train it. Hmm.. we're getting somewhere now. But we honestly don't have the time to train a puppy. With both of us being at work most of the day. And then we would still have to get it spayed/neutered. So, I figured, we can get a dog that's only a year or two old.. still mostly puppy-ish. And he would be mostly house-trained, have his shots n all that, and we wouldn't have to worry about a lot of the puppy things. Not that I'm trying to get the easy way out, I think it's more practical, considering our living situation. And I could take him to work with me during the day, as long as he gets along with other dogs and gets some horse smarts into him.
So I might still send out an email about this Teddy.. Just to find out more about him.. :)
