So instead of the stories where you ladies bringing new furry abandoned critters home, my H brought one home. My MIL and sFIL had a dog that was about 7 years old that passed away a couple months ago due to kidney failure. Since sFIL sits at home and is pretty much disabled, they wanted to get another dog to keep him company. They had just dropped a ton of money on the previous dog's vet bills so I didn't think adopting a dog was in the cards. The rate for dog adoption here is $200. That's fine and dandy for most people but they are bad with money. I found a couple full grown, house trained chihuahuas that would have been perfect but like I said, I didn't think they could afford it so H never mentioned it to her. WELL, about a week and a half ago, they buy this chihuahua/pekingese mix (Cheeks or PekiChi) puppy who is only 6 weeks old. The breeder told them that the puppy was already house broken. *insert eye roll here* They dropped $200 on the little guy. It just frustrates me that my MIL NEVER thinks things out. She didn't even by proper puppy food for the poor guy. Just cheap canned adult dog food. SMH.
Now, the little guy is ours. H told me he had a surprise for me yesterday. He comes walking up the front porch with a carrier. The puppy is maybe 1lb sopping wet. While he melts my heart, we were not planning on getting another dog until my two kicked the bucket. H has fallen in love with the little guy so that's a great thing. My heart is just not their yet. I feel very overwhelmed by the whole thing and having other life issues going on. The funny thing is that we are meeting over at MIL's house tonight for T-Giving and H only brought the puppy home last night. Oh lawd. Of course I included a pic. I know the ML rules.
This is going to be a post and run. Have to get over to MIL's!
TL:DR - MIL is an idiot who got a 6 week old puppy and didn't know WTF she was doing. Now it's ours.
