Decisions, decisions again
Well, my youngest son has his heart set on a dog he saw at the local pound. But $70? $50 will go towards the spaying/neuter thing, so that's like a down payment. However, not sure. I want her as much as he does. She's around 1 yr or less. She's a red beagle. Just not sure. He is still missing Love so much as am I. I'm just kinda lost. I know you can't replace a dog. But the house seems so empty without her bouncing and liveliness. I suppose I could just get the dog at the pound and if Faith gets along with her, hubby would just have to get over the whole thing. LOL. I'm the one who does the house training, feeding, etc. any way.

When I adopted a puppy last Spring from a shelter, Lukey was $200. So i think $70 sounds like bargain. I love beagles, sepecially female beagles, they are very obedient and stay in the yard if they ar neutered (usually). DO all husbands have a thing about not having house pets?
Nan
I suppose so. My husband wants a puppy but not any ooops! Now, ain\'t that like having a baby with no bottles? Sounds nice, but it just ain\'t real! LOL
Oh, I wish I would have read this! I am sure you made your decision already. But I had a heeler for 12 yrs..he was our only dog. Then he got old and went into heart failure. Broke my heart. Didn\'t want a dog. The kids always liked going to the local shelter just for fun. But one day I walked in after 3mths of Spooker being gone. This little shaved dog jumped at the gate and we just knew. $70! But we took him to the wrong vet and the bill ended up being $200! Ugg. Well this little guy is my life. He knows when I don\'t feel good. He sleeps with me, plays with me. Rides in the car with me. He is a blessing I just can\'t ignore. Then the kids were mad because he was supposed to be thier dog! So back to the shelter for this ugly dog Katy had seen sitting in the same dorm as Zeus. Ugly, ugly hairy wild dog. I just looked at her. OMG> Got loose and ran away 2 times at the shelter just trying to get her to the car! Home with us she went..She is a ton of work. But again. Seems to know when I need love or feel bad. I hope you got the dog! I really do. The more the merry \'er. And we added a cat. I pray for a really blessed Christmas Holiday for you and your family!
Got the dog. Loved her to death. She was abused, but I could work with that. Seemed smart and did well for 24 hours. Then the fight was on between her & Faith. Now \"Ginger\" could end Faith in one bite so I told son, I had no choice but to take Ginger back. Hubby thinks maybe in the Spring when my health improves.
