Talking Myself Out Of It

[alabasterangel]

Yesterday at the vet I saw the cutest puppy in the waiting room while I was waiting for the x-ray results.

He was being picked up for surgery by a volunteer for the local Humane Society. He'd gotten fixed and had his leg amputated and it was all sewn up.

The poor little gimp had gotten run over by a car and someone scooped him up and brought him in.

I've been trying to talk myself out of calling to check on his availability. I really don't need another dog. Someone else will fall in love with him, I'm sure.

Damn vet's office! *shakes fist*

What kind of dog was it?

It looked like possibly a lab mix. It looked like it would be a medium/large dog when it grew up.

So far I've been able to talk myself out of it because I prefer females.

But gah! It was a cutie.

plus two babies! That is a lot of mouths to feed, I don't blame you for resisting the urge.

I am sure someone else will give the pup a loving home, but I know how hard it is when you see a sweet face that melts your heart!

Aww, poor thing!

Eh, what's one more?

Sorry, just playing devil's advocate!

I kind of want to pin you down and spit in your bellybutton.

Ha! Well I do have an innie, so that would work!

If you're not sure if you can handle it, you probably can't. I wish I had known that a month ago.

I'm sure someone will adopt him, but if you really wanted to, you could make a donation. I bet his vet care was expensive.

Honestly, though, pups like that get a lot of sympathy and will definitely find a home. If you were to get another one, I'd advocate for the less favored - like, an older dog, or a less favored breed. Chihuahuas and pitties are the most dog found in our shelters, I'm sure your shelters have least favorite breeds

Dude. You are correct!

It's nice that you enjoy taking care of other living things though...I'm reluctant to buy a basil plant because I would probably neglect it until it shriveled up and died.

I should just try to talk my mom into it.. muah ha ha!

[Bridey]

Ala-do you still have the ferrets?

[alabasterangel]

No. They needed to be rehomed separately after they developed behavioral issues we couldn't resolve with them in the same house.
