I wouldn't say any of our dogs were on impulse, maybe not completely planned either though.

Reggie was a puppy from a litter my dad's co-worker's dog had. They had talked to us (my siblings and I, kids at the time) about getting one of the puppies but I don't think they ever actually said we were getting one. One day my dad took me for a ride in the car (he said we were going somewhere else but I don't remember where) and picked him up to take him home (he was the last pup in the litter and they hadn't been able to find him a home yet). It was my parents decision I don't think it was exactly an impulse.

With Nebo, I had been wanting a siberian husky my entire life and my parents finally said I could get one. We went to the wrong places looking for puppies (newspaper ads) and drove to a few different houses looking at husky puppies. They were all cute of course, but none of them seemed right. I wanted a black and white female, I wasn't even going to look at the 2 red males but decided to do it anyway. Obviously, I fell in love. I didn't bring him home that day though, I went home and thought about it, then went back to get him the next day. Best decision ever! So it was planned on getting a siberian husky, but maybe impulse on which one.

Sydney was my sisters dog, she bought her when she was a puppy. When my sister was pregnant with twins she was having a hard time so my mom offered to bring Sydney home for a while until she was doing better. Well she had the babies and after they acted like they didn't want her back, and we didn't want her to end up in a bad home...so she's still here. It was an impulse on my mom's part to bring her home in the first place, but we weren't intending to keep her...she's a sweetie though and we love her.
