Teed off at Rescues!!!! GRRRR - Page 3

You ladies listen to your husbands too much!!!

Well, KellyJ, this is round one... don't count me out, yet....! Although, I admit this one is an uphill battle.  The timing is not to my advantage... we'll see what happens overnight..., let the thought settle, ya' know? 

Better to ask forgivness then permission:)

Tell him he doesn't need to remember your birthday etc.. because this puppy is the only thing that will make you happy.... you know what they say about a happy wife he he he

You could do one of two things...just get the puppy and worry about the husband later OR act so pitiful that he goes and gets the puppy himself! lol

Goodluck!

Melba,
You have the same thoughts I do, act then ask forgiveness or just tell them that is the way it is,,,,darn now I know why it took me so long to find a good one...LOL...
I am just used to doing, not asking...lol. Steph

Or DH could just need time to get used to the idea like Martin did.

I really, really wanted a puppy from our trainer's litter but Martin said a flat out "NO!"- our house was too small, little pups are too much work, etc. So, I just kept talking every day for two weeks about the things we would do with the puppy and how much fun it would be. Every week our trainer would have us visit the puppies "to socialize them" (wink!) after Senta's class- who can resist a cute little pup? When Bosco was 10 weeks old, he went home with us after class. Good thing neither of us knew how tough the first month was going to be! Now, Martin loves Bosco a ridiculous amount. :)

 hmm...i don't ask, so....like yesterday. Honey we are going to pick another dog...and yes you will love him....than at 12 at night....yes, honey i will make him stop barking....at 4 am no honey that’s not me nudging you...4:30am..okay, okay i am up...7am honey you didn't really wanted that rack of ribs for dinner, i need it to keep dog quiet during day time..

so it all works out....LOL..
 

It is my fault, I've been entertaining another puppy in my head for a whille now... I couldn't help myself when I saw all those puppies on here!  I need more time to butter Dh up, and I don't know if that is fair to Steph if she's got others who are sure they will take Beau Blue!!!!

  I didn't talk to DH this morning before he left for work... that's part of the timing thing... new job, it is just too new at the moment, he's too involved dealing with that, and thinks our one dog is just fine...........  

I know if I just showed up with the darlin' bugger he'd be all over it. I really was thinking this would be my youngest son's dog, hopefully, that is how I"d like the bond to be. When his brother who he idolizes leaves for college in two years, he's going to miss him, and a pup would help him with that... I was thinking. (He already misses him due to all the time he spends with the GF.)

Laura, I am with you ... I need more time just with the idea to take hold in his head!

Melba, that has been my MO before, it isn't totally off the table, IMHO..... 


I need some coffee, I can't believe I typed all this without my !!

I love my DH SO much LOL. I've been planning (or conspiring!) on bringing another dog home for a while now, but have been
trying to arrange (with a VERY good friend) a good shipment time because we just bought a house. Didn't want to ship a dog
amongst the chaos that is moving. So, when setting up kennels and such I was questioned WHY we needed an extra ha ha ha
I told him it was for the dog that we were getting :) I got a dirty look and the "oh" look. He's very tolerant of my GSD obsession
and supportive in my training endevours ha ha.... then again, he did go buy a 10 kilowatt military generator without talking too, so we
both have our "things".

I've (we've!) fostered dogs in this manner also. I get the "where are you going" ... oh, to pick up a foster. Don't worry, he/she will
not be here for long, just doing training before he/she is on to it's permanant foster :) I get my fix and the rescue gets a trained,
more adoptable dog. It's win/win :)
