Oh, Internet, please support me in my hour of need. Fortify my weak, weak resolve, and turn me away from the puppies. For though they are cute and frolicky and precious, I must not succumb to their pleas for love and attention. I do not have room in my 800 square foot apartment for yet another kennel.
Jack has been telling me lately that he wants a friend. When we got back home after visiting my parents he missed having another puppy around, and I can't help but think that maybe he’d harass the puppy more than me.
I’m just going to look. There’s probably not even any puppies there that I’ll click with. Puppies don’t last long at the shelters, it’s the adults they have trouble getting adopted. So yeah…I’m just going to look… that’s all…
Actually, it was a relief to me after I adopted dog number 2 (she was an adult though) because it gave dog number 1 someone to play with.
If you have room, I say GO for it!
OK, that wasn't helpful, was it?

I second that!!! Now that the "mouses" are gone, Jack NEEDS someone else to keep him company while you are at work. Get a girl and name her Jill:)

I can never say no the face of a puppy...I still feel guilty as heck for moving 4 hours away from my beloved Maggie dog at home. I hope she won't harbor too much bitterness from this....
Good luck with the puppy search!

Just looking - haha. I'd come home with a basketful. The wagging, the sweet sloppy kisses...But really, a playmate is usally a good idea.

well... you do need a Cinderella... can't remember what her nickname was gonna be.
Oh jeeze.

Step away from the puppies. I cannot even think about going without coming home with one. Good luck! What about a cat?? They don't require house training, etc.

Think Monkle and Aunt Mimi - "Just one more, just one more, just one more ........maybe a few kittens, too.

Oh geez. Be strong, Angel! Do not let the cuteness fool you!

Yikes. I wish I could have *just* one. Unfortunately, my busy life, and my rented condo doesn't afford me the luxury of having a pet.
I'd sooo love to get a Schnoodle puppy, though.

I must tell you from personal experience that getting a second dog is much more work then you realize, even just from the walking perspective. Granted, mine is a "special needs" one, but still...Plus, the vet and kennel bills have now doubled. Would I give him up? No, but I'm not sure if I would have taken him if I knew then what I know now.

Don't be fooled, they know exactly how to use those big brown eyes and floppy soft ears to get you just where they want you. Look away!
