A while back I was talking with a co-worker (single executive with one child). She had us all over to her house last Christmas and I got to meet her puppy. He's a bichon - a beautiful bichon with a wonderful temperament. At that time half in jest and half in seriousness, I said to her if she ever wanted to get rid of him to let me know.
In July she and I were at a conference and got to talking. She was telling me that with her new expanded job responsibilities, buying a house (no fenced yard) and taking care of her son; the pup was getting to be too much. I again told her that if she wanted to get rid of the pup to let me know.
Since all this transpired we've acquired our newest family member, Muffin. Well, she came in today and said it was all getting to be too stressful and she wants to talk to me about the pup. She looks broken hearted about it.
I'm going home to talk to Dick this evening and see what he says. Not too long ago, he said we have ENOUGH dogs. I know we have four, but three are small. I don't think there is such a thing as enough dogs, but I also don't want to see this pup go to a pound or to someone who won't care.
Would like your opinions on the whole idea.
