Hi,
This is my first post.
I'm glad to have joined this wonderful site!
I'd really like some suggestions as to how I can convince my in-laws that they really should adopt a pooch. I'll tell you about the background....
Holley, was thier "Baby" for 11 years. She passed on about 18 months ago. She was a lovely Boston terrier.
A few months after she passed on, my husband and I decided that it was time for us to adopt a lil doggy. We just happened to have fallen in love with a lil Boston.
I think our Beenie reminds them of Holley. They always want us to visit (with Beenie) and want to keep her often. If we don't visit, they get "Beeniesick" and need to come over just to spend a few hours with the grandoggie.
I really think they should adopt a lil one of their own. I don't mind sharing but I think they would be happier with a baby of their own. They would be able to spend as much time as they wish with him/her. Everytime I bring up the subject, they always say "no way" because they are afraid of the pain of eventually losing another one...
