I found myself unable to live without a dog & rescued a girl in February this year.
In October i brought home a rehome companion for her, a sob story, my beautiful boy who has fitted in a dream, it was the right decision, life was / is complete - or so i thought

Today i seen a puppy
This pupster's face called out to me. Now how do i go about convincing my husband after taking on two already in less than a year that its meant to be?

We have a rescue dog we got as a pup. In truth I did'nt get a lot of say in the matter-we went just to have a look and ended up with a pup. Now we are replacing all the carpets with wooden floors. My wife is currently trying to persuade me we need a companion for him. There's a seven month old husky pup I could be persuaded with. For this reason She is not getting to go anywhere near the rescue centre and I'm not going to look either.

Buttercup. STOP BULLYING YOUR HUSBAND YOU KNOW IT IS UNFAIR AND HE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE IF YOU PERSIST.

your husband didn't stand a chance did he?

Which rescue centre was it you went to?

Well done. No man stands a chance with us softie women do they?

Logically speaking, three dogs are no more trouble than two. Two is no more trouble than one.
I am a great fan of 'Ceasar Milan' and he is absolutely correct when he says that dogs are happiest in a pack. They learn from each other and they become less demanding on the human.
We recently got a third dog, a recue and she wasn't planned. The three of mine get on so well that i'm considering a fourth.
Nect time, i want a Staffi. I just love them.

GMC - She's a Dundee lass.
Oscar - What dogs do you have? My friend just got a staffie pup & its the craziest little dog, its more like a kangaroo x piranha, she's got her work cut out for her with that one
