I hope your plan works out ;-) 

Me too! What kind of dog is it??? (very bad, Buffy, hope your hubby doesn't mind!) Mine would not be happy! 

i love ur evil plan 

Jozette99 - me too. 

Paula - DH grumbles a lot, but he is just like me - he can't say no to family. Or in this case, ex family (she is my ex-step daughter in law). 

PS - Paula - He is a terrier mix, the same size as my Shih Tzu.  

Rocky - yes, just hoping he falls in love with him. 

lol Buffy - that sounds like a brilliant plan - don't be surprised if the dog becomes more attached to your husband if it all works out. I adopted two cats and my husband was not overly excited about it - now one of the cats (Tiggy) and my husband are nearly inseparable!!! I call my husband the Tiggy Magnet - because if he sits down Tiggy just appears from nowhere to sit on him. I hope it all works out - enjoy your weekend. 

Tracy - Nice that Tiggy has a lifelong buddy. I just wish people would get their pets spayed/neutered so we don't have such a glut of animals that have to be put to death - or worse - abused. 

I couldn't agree more - unless you are a proper breeder, all animals should be spayed/neutered. When you "adopt" from our local animal home they spay/neuter the animals before you take them home. 

LOL...yeah, you - bad...I don't think so! But, nice try anyway. "Forgetful" maybe...LOL, what ever, good luck with the plan, I hope YOU still want the dog after spending more time with it. I love animals, but mostly the well behaved ones best! It is cold here too, I am even wearing long underwear, but, at least for this weekend you will have a new furry friend to snuggle up with! 

GG - that is part of the plan - I may not want him after the week is up.  

Buffy, you sneaky devil, you! Hope it goes better than when DH agreed to dog-sit over TG a few years ago. I was out-voted 3 to 1. Both visiting, housebroken dogs decided to "go" - both - in a few places and the one was always a challenge to manage with my male. It was THE WORST TG holiday....I counted the hours until the couple returned to claim their dogs. Never again!!! Well....I take that back. I WAS momentarily considering fostering a litter of 7 Collie puppies for a rescue organization until the already-arranged transport can come get them in 10 days. Then, my sanity returned - LOL! 

Sandy - Yes - will have him Thanksgiving Day - dogs, grandkids, terrified cats - I may be sorry!  

Buffy, how can anybody not love a sweet little dog :) Hope you plan works, I'm a big dog lover, have always had a dog, they are the best friends ! 

I hope he (DH) falls for the "puppy eyes"...You may have to make some puppy eyes yourself Buffy...lol 

Sorry your plandid not work out maybe you could try fostering a dog for a rescue group---then you all can decide. My two doggies are rescues and they worked out beautifully.  

TE HE that would be the kind of thing I would do, I could never just come out and say it....it would have to be a gradual thing. My hubby is a real animal lover but says he gets too attached then gets too upset when they die. I don't understand that logic I loved the 18 1/2 years Ben our Cairn spent with us, yes I miss him but the joy he brought was worth the hurt when he went. Daisy is now a little old lady, so I would like another dog to fill in when she goes......but he won't hear of it.....I can't imagine not having a dog around.......so maybe just maybe I will do something like that and hope it just works out.....
