So my birthday is coming up and I'm going to spend that weekend up at the Kansas City Pet Expo volunteering in the NMHP's booth. I will be exposed to a lot of dogs in rescue and I've been thinking for a long time that perhaps we need a medium sized female dog to give my 2 big boys some balance. I'm thinking of a knee high girl in the 50 pound range.
I think my husband is somewhat opposed to rocking the happy balance we have in our household by bringing in another dog. I really want one and can use my birthday as an excuse to ask for one. He usually gives in to my birthday requests. And I know I'm going to be sorely tempted to adopt one at the expo.
There is no question about having the resource to take care of one. Adding a third dog isn't much more time, and we have the resources to add another. The 2 acre fenced yard and large house is a perfect set up for a lot of dogs. We've had 5 in the past and 2 just doesn't seem to be enough at times. Our neighbor's dog (female knee high about 50 pounds) spends a lot of time with our dogs and actually comes inside the house almost daily. It's fun to have another furry around.
Am I nuts to bring another baby into my life? Some one either give me excuses to ask for one or reasons why not to.
