Beautiful dogs!

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. By all means, keep the discussion going. Let him know why you want one and the reasons you think it is right for your family.

Just make very, very, VERY sure that you have actually won him over and not just worn him down before you bring another dog home. Bringing home a dog that even one person in the house resents or doesn't want isn't fair to the dog, or good for the family as a whole.

Again, your dogs look beautiful, and I am sure you would only act with the best interest of all the furkids in mind. Just be careful not to bulldoze hubby without really considering his feelings, but also ask him to level with you some more. Talk to him about his financial concerns, but also make sure he knows thta you feel like he is not really being sensible about it, and it upsets you that his reaction is to just put his foot down and forbid you to do it before it has really been talked about.


And lastly, I agree that his reasons for not getting one don't sound great, but at the same time, make sure you are thinking carefully and giving him better reasons than "I want one!" Maybe make a list of the reasons you think another dog would be right for your family, and he needs to at least hear you out on the issue.


Good luck!
