Apparently I voted already, I'm sure it was that my husband wouldn't forbid me to get another dog. I looked at the date on the original post, however, and that was 2 dogs ago!!

When I found Riley in the parking lot of the spca, my initial instinct was not to take him, but my heart won out. My husband found out as I was driving home with him, and he fell in love with him. I did most of the work with Riley. It was horrible timing to get a new dog, let alone a puppy. I got him on a Friday, and we moved into our house on Tuesday. So much chaos already, and add to that a little, unhousebroken, whiner. But I love him, and cleaned up his messes, took him out all the time, and was patient with him--I just love him so much.

With Jada, it was my husband who wanted another dog--I was actually not too keen on the idea. Well, we saw her beautiful face staring at us through the kennel door at the spca, and I knew she was ours. As it turns out, she has been such a saint that we barely know another dog is in the house--a few more piles out back to clean up, and some more food to dish out!!!
