New puppy

[AliceK]

We lost our young dog to cancer last summer and although we currently have my mums dog staying with us I still wanted to get another dog of my own. Me and oh had a huge row a couple of weeks ago because he doesn't want another dog. I told him I have had dogs all my life and not to make me choose between him or a dog because the dog would win . Anyway been looking for a while for a suitable dog and yesterday saw an advert for puppies locally, cross between a Labrador and a boxer. Spent all day today thinking about them and then seeing as oh was working late I called the number when I finished work tonight and went straight round there with ds to have a look. Of course I said I would have one lol so paid the deposit and we will pick him up on 13th of April. Ds is very excited and has already named him Max. Haven't told oh yet, I feel singledom coming on, oh dear
Can't wait to bring my new little boy home though

I think it's wonderful that you are such a passionate caring dog owner!!!
Dogs are very special & I can imagine how lost you feel without one.
I'm sure your oh will come round as soon as he sees the puppy's cute little face
Fancy him trying to put his foot down - he should know by now that we always get our own way hehehe

Congratulations anyway - you will have to share a photo of him when he's home xxxx

Thank you both.
AmyLouise you are right he should know me by now, we've been together 9yrs and I had a dog when we met so he should know how crazy I am about dogs.

Anyway I told him this morning, he was fine actually, I think he knew it was inevitable really. I told him I am prepared to compromise on a lot of things but not this. He's even offered to sort the fence out that separates the childrens part of the garden from the dogs part as this puppy is so small at the moment that he would be able to get underneath. He also asked me if I wanted another cat, I said no not really so he told me that he does so I've said he can have one if he likes

All is peaceful in the house at the moment
