my fiance said i could get a dog. I'm panting here.

tell me it's not a good idea since we are moving soon and plannig a wedding leaves no time to watch a new puppy

someone talk to me. i'm going dog crazy. Wink

someone is coming down the 22nd from WAY up north for a wedding in my town and said they'd drop her off.

normally 1,000 - 1,200 PLUS shipping
because we like each other 650 no shipping

it's sick how dog-obsessed i am eh? (well, if you knew me)

should i stick to my original plan of waiting until the end of the summer and get one from a very loving friend who has the sweetest dogs (temperament, disposition, etc). man, i e-love this breeder AND most importantly ...friend.

or another breeder who is a great breeder as well (but imo ...no one tops the above girl/breeder).

by the way, this is the furbabies I posted awhile back. a breed i have researched and researched and researched. nothing that is just a random decision (as far as getting another dog...just timing)

If---that dog was on your porch RIGHT NOW--- what would you have to do to prepare?

absolutely nothing. you must not have heard how my dog has its own closet with dog hangers and wooden bed w/sheets? Wink

my concern is only should we wait until after the honeymoon (dog sitter). our honeymoon only being 3-4 days long. that's it and moving in general (all taken care of by the military. we will just have to drive there). parents are coming ALL the way up to our new house to watch my present furbabies. my present one is an angel. my korean mother may have a different opinion about coming dog w/this new larger dog.

i have at least 5 dog bowls since everyone knows my favorite gifts are dog related.

i have a baby gate (used when furbaby 1 was a puppy)

we have water Wink

food -- would have to go to petco for that b/c my other dog's food is medicated

collars/leashes - check
time - check (I'm out of school w/no job) Wink

however cons (which are big):

planning a wedding in may
moving in may
"puppy"

i was asking about preparation because sometimes people ( obviously not you Laughing

) can talk themselves out of a big decision when they are going down the 'to do ' list.

Planning the wedding and moving, are those 2 activities going to take alot of time FROM the dog? Or alot of time you would like to spend with the dog? Reason im asking.. if it is going to be bad for the dog then dont do it. But if the little puppy is still going to get time devoted to him and loved like your other one is.. then take him. :-) hug him up , love him and enjoy.

I think I need to be told "not to" which is why I made this thread. If you knew me, ...nothing can stop me from getting this dog I have waited Forever to own.

My main concern is stress for NOT the new dog but my present furbabies. Moving is stressfull. Proven from my dog throwing up the last time (a few weeks ago). Moving again PLUS new dog is what I'm concerned about.

Both will have to be done either way (we will be getting a new dog if not next week.. in a few months) and the dogs will have to eventually socialize but maybe under better conditions. On the flip side, both of them going to a new place could help that. I'm not sure.

Ok..
here goes:

NO! NO DOG! BAD!!! NO.

hehe.. not too convincing huh.
I am probally the wrong one to talk to as I am a HUGE animal lover and like you, there is no reason I shouldnt take in a new animal.

Ok.. the person who is delivering this new dog,... can they do it at a later date?
if you have not met the dog then no loss right?
( mustering up the ' NO ' attitude)

There is a good point to be made.. training.
if you are going to train a new puppy it is most effective when the home situation, house structure, scenery is the same. Familiarity with the back door for outside pooping for example.. noone likes to clean up an indoor mess.

ug, who am I kidding.. im not sounding at all serious. Laughing

Ok.. one final NO.. that is all ya get!!! haha!
Good luck to ya on your wedding and new home though! THAT sounds very exciting.

you are too hilarious. e-hugs galore.

i am 50/50. no because we have to go to oklahoma soon to find a new apt (really only 5-6 hrs away). yes because several people get a new pup and travel with it b/c they're in the same situation. yes, because i will give it all it needs and have the time. no, because danggit, my mom will be pissed.

i'm sure my fiance will write back and say ...no, better not.
i am also writing the breeder and asking her to reply back with 'no, better not. we no longer want you to have our furkid.'

that should work. /crosses fingers.

furkid.

that is good!!!!

umm.. tell them that since you are traveling in the near future you are not sure it is going to be good for the dog and let them talk themselves out of the deal..... Maybe?? that my work?

Or

become a cat lover. Twisted Evil

Oh, didn't you hear? I already have a breeder (actually she's just a friend) who is going to let us adopt one of her Ragdolls. I AM a catlover. Razz

someone please help me. my soon-to-be wrote me back faster than i anticipated. i am confused by his answer and hate hate bugging him. i have you guys. Wink

is he saying yes i can or we should wait a month??

background: our first choice breeder lives where we're moving to. she is also a dear friend. she may not be breeding her dog in May. I told my fiance this. This is why he even suggested this other person. I am confused.

he wrote:

I don't think there will be a problem with the dog. We will just have to keep him in the kitchen for a while if he isn't potty trained.
I would say to go for it. We can see her when we go to our next place. We could probably even pick her up then. It might be a month too early.
I can see our house turning into a zoo. No fish, birds, or any worthless type animals. I love you. - Mr. Joah
