Does anyone agree that, in the New Year, we should adopt a three-legged puppy? All we'd have to pay for is the adoption fee/donation.
Mr Bling isn't convinced. Help required!

I'm not going to side with one partner over another over a puppy, especially a poor little three legged thing that will probably be left in a sack by the side of the road if you don't have it and its death will be on someone's conscience for ever. Oh no, not me.

Thanks peeps. I'm in the dog house for posting... but he's sooo cute! The dog, not the husband
We already have a dog (same breed as the puppy). She's very demanding in as much as she can't be left alone. Other than that, she's a super star
Thanks again.

The current dog won't be left alone if she has the puppy with her.

Go on adopt the puppy your dog would benefit they are pack animals need other of their own kind. Mr and I are not buying each other anything for Christmas but are give a nice sum of money to a charity with unwanted dogs. I don't need a new handbags nor boots or jewellery   |

Fish don't normally live in the boat.
As has been said, you do need to both want the puppy. Plus there is the ongoing cost of another mouth to feed.

"Needless to say, I think a 3 legged puppy would be quite easily rehomed as everyone loves a sad story, so Mr Bling, there is your get out of jail free card  "
It's true. Mine was the first one they showed us and we were sold. We made a show of looking at all of the others but she was the one re-homed to us.

One of our dogs has three legs and shes the most cheeky,naughty and cuddly one. They get used to walking on three legs. You just have to watch out for other dogs their instinctively attack the "weaker" of the pack. My other three just back Molly up when their out walking. |

Dogs that are missing a leg can cope surprisingly well. |

Well I know what I'm like when I get the bit between my teeth, regarding getting a new pet. Us women have a way of going on and on and on.....
So mr Bling if I were you, maybe give in now. You've not really got a leg to stand
 . Sorry couldn't resist. Good luck with whatever you decide, but like most have said, I do think you both need to agree |

I can't say no that's my problem, its why we have so many animals already.
And yeah the name will be changed to something else of her choosing. |

just pleas emake sure the choice you make is for the right reason, and long term.
the puppy needs a lot of care and attention.
it has already been through so much with the amputation/being born this way.
if you left her on her own well, she wouldnt have a leg to stand on..... |

Ohhh what a wonderful gift you have given to this pup. I feel it's should be called lucky or are most of your animals called that. Make Jake like the song know he won't have a wooden leg I'm feeling all warm inside |

Pay the extra and get all 4 legs  
Seriously though they manage very well with a missing leg, so don't let that stop you. |

We have made an enquiry about adopting Boomer - just an enquiry at this stage, as he won't be ready for re-homing for around another six weeks.
We were both in agreement about him from the start, but hubby is a bit more practical than me However, I (Mrs) have heard nothing but 'puppy!' all day long from Mr.
Just to clarify, this pup would be coming to a lovely, forever home. Our current baby (the dog) is 10 years old and we've had her since she was just a few weeks.
Thanks for all the support and happy Christmas. X

My advice would be to think about whether another dog would be beneficial, as you already have quite a few pets. Can you afford the expense of the innoculactions, fleaing, worming, food etc as well as the time invested in training a puppy and the possible pitfalls of repair to your home from a playful but sometimes destructive puppy. Also is a home with so many pets the best option for a puppy.
We can all get caught up in the cuteness of a sweet little puppy, especially the sound of this little one who has suffered trauma so young. But you can't save the animal world so harden your heart just a little and work out the negatives as well as positives as this is approx a 13 year commitment. Don't take the decision lightly.
That said if you can provide all this puppy needs, the environment is ideal, long term health costs can be provided and your own home will remain in good order etc, then a puppy will give you many years of love and loyalty.
Best wishes to you |
