Please tell me not to adopt this guy!

[Medium Baby Jesus]

I know I probably should not.



But he's so cute. He's coming over for a visit tomorrow night and I know I won't want him to leave.

[flamingyouth]

I'm sorry, I can't do that

You simply must adopt him. :D

[Droopy]

1. If you adopt him, let him grow some hair.

He'll freeze his little butt off this winter.

2. I'm in Florida

[Medium Baby Jesus]

5. You are not helping!

:spank:

[Political_Junkie]

[CatWoman]

6. I can almost hear him yelling

MOMMY!!!!!!

[Medium Baby Jesus]

11. You sure it's not

DADDY!!!!!

[CatWoman]

14. hey, you can be both!!!!!!

right? :D

[Philostopher]

4. Just curious -- why shouldn't you adopt him?

He is cute.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

8. It's just such a big commitment

I want to be sure it's the right thing to do for the dogs sake.

[Philostopher]

12. It is, but you get used to it.

After 20 years of having cats, we adopted a dog a couple of years ago. He is more trouble even than four cats, but it's worth it. We've only regretted it once or twice, and both times it was during our Christmas vacation two years ago, when we both had the flu and there was a foot of snow on the ground, but Max still had to be walked. Seriously, that's the only time I've thought, 'what the hell were we thinking?' -- when there was knee-deep snow and Max had to get out.

7. If you don't..............I sure will! He's a DOLL! You're lucky! n/t

[Bronco69]

10. He looks like trouble to me!

Just kidding. Adopt him. :-)

[Crunchy Frog]

13. You know you're going to do it,

no matter what anybody on here says. Time to just accept it and get used to the idea.:)

Congratulations on your new baby!:toast:

[Medium Baby Jesus]

16. I think you're right.

Thanks

:toast:

[bettyellen]

15. if you can't handle it, don't let him in the door! you are

never going to be able to kick out a cute little face like that!

[Medium Baby Jesus]

17. Here is a grown-up version

Still think he's cute? I do. :)

[Bunny]

19. Is it a Chinese Crested?

I've always liked their looks. If you have qualms about adopting, perhaps you should wait. But it sure is a cutie pie!

[Medium Baby Jesus]

20. You are correct.

They kinda look like tiny Shetland ponys. I always liked them.

[IndyOp]

18. If you really, really should not...

then you won't. Do take time to listen to that still small voice. Now may not be the right time. This may not be the right dog. Maybe you are just *almost* ready.

My suggestion would be that *if* you decide to take him be sure to get lots and lots of indestructable dog toys, and a crate that a little dog bed will fit inside for when you are gone from the house. You will enjoy your new addition much, much more if you get the right gear and talk with experienced dog owners at the very beginning. Don't wait until you have chewed shoes or wet feet (from unmentionable puddles inside the house) before you learn about setting appropriate boundaries with Fido.

Love *is* what it is all about and knowing how to help guide your new love toward the good behavior that you want will help a lot. Have fun!
