On Saturday we decided to go and get a little Christmas shopping done. We were going to go a few places like the mall, PetSmart and Old Navy. We hit all those places and as usual ended up buying everything WE wanted and nothing for anyone else. I wouldn’t say we’re selfish, just self-centered. (I’m KIDDING people!)
We arrived at PetSmart to look at beds for precious Lexi. She’s fallen in love with this horrendous Nebraska beanbag (now you people see why it’s horrendous!). She decided to rip the seam open so it’s ruined so now we’re trying to find one similarly shaped…sorry this story is SO not about a bed.
PetSmart is TORTURE but it’s especially torture on Saturdays. They pretty much have adoptions every Saturday and this one was no different. We just decided to look because, well as you all know we LOVE dogs. Of COURSE there was a pen with 4 yellow lab puppies, 2 brown puppy mixes, and 1 black and white puppy. OF COURSE THERE WAS. I kept asking my sweet husband if we could get one.
NOT THE ACTUAL PUPPIES!
Here’s the problem.
HE DIDN’T SAY NO! In fact he said he would pay for it. But that was all he was going to pay for. I had to pay for everything else and get up and take care of it. How could he say that I could get one. He’s the level-headed one that says “NO” when no should be said! Yada, yada, yada I thought of Lexi and Sadie and thought they probably weren’t ready for a new addition at this moment.
As we were driving home though, we drove past a WalMart parking lot. What was in the parking lot you ask?? A sign for LAB PUPPIES! We didn’t even stop for those. Then yesterday as I was going to Target I saw a sign on a truck that I was next to “ROTTWEILER PUPPIES.” I mean, is this not a sign from God or what?! Plus did I mention last week I held a corgi puppy?! A CORGI PUPPY FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!
How could I make these two put up with another puppy?!
Maybe I shouldn’t make them deal with a new puppy–maybe I should just replace them with puppies!
Nah, I couldn’t do that!
Hi Everybody! I'm Angela. I love my dogs, adore my husband and try to make the best out of everyday! 
i know, puppies are very hard to resist. maybe your two would like a younger sibling. we have 2 dogs and my kids are constantly saying we need a puppy. “not no, but hell no” is the reply from their father. we are dog people, we had 3 dogs until september, but it is kind of nice to just have 2 now.
puppies are so cute! we have 3 dogs and it works out ok. we had 4 at one time and that was too much. i love corgi’s i want one. hehe i hate when i ask for something that i know i probably shouldn’t have and c doesn’t tell me no
LOL nice action shots of the dogs. wait until after Christmas and if you still see all the signs, they might be from God!
That would be hard to turn away a puppy. They are just so darn cute! I would love to have one, but I don’t think my dogs would be ready for a new puppy around the house. Maybe next year.
I don’t think I’ve ever gone to PetSmart to Christmas shop. I think I’ve only been once, in fact.
Boomer Sooner! Miami-bound, woo hoo!
A PUPPY!!! OMG I could not imagine having a puppy right now with a baby and 2 other kids, and your “BABIES” may not like having a new “sibling”…. but let me tell you, when I see those pet adoptions orpeople sitting in the parking lots with puppies, it takes alot of will power not to stop and look….. because I know if I look then it is all over….
oh boy. i can’t even walk past the windows of those stores- i cross the street- eyes forward! my little bundle of drool would not take kindly to a yippy pup- hahah! i thikn you’ve got your hands full, little lady. you need to hand the hubby a script for these situations!!!
I can’t believe you were able to say no to a puppy! You are much, much stronger than I am!
Ahhhh! You totally should get a rescue puppy! If you want an older dog try Safe Haven Rescue in Midwest City. That’s where I got my Golden Retriever. He had been set on FIRE AND DROWNED. It took two years to rehabilitate him. Needless to say, he gets whatever he wants….
BTW, Quasi-Giveaway on my blog
Awww! I wanna puppy! I think my Molly needs a daytime companion while I’m at work but we can’t even think about it until after we are home from our vacation.
My vote is get one… but when it comes to getting a puppy, my vote is always yes. Ha ha.
Angela
I was testing you. You passed. Dogs should never outnumber the people in the house. I can fix that, ya know.
God
DO IT. You know you want to. Personally I wouldn’t get a puppy if you paid me a boat load of money. I can’t stand puppies, they look better pooping peeing and chewing someone elses home.
I think God is telling you that you are going a little crazy
No puppies for me, thank you!
Glad you got all you wanted this Christmas
Stop by if you are interested in my first ever contest!!
It sounds like you’ve got puppy fever. That’s a hard one to get rid of too!
I told my husband I wanted to get my oldest a puppy for christmas. *gasP* I couldn’t believe the words came out of my mouth.
That last picture is like they are laughing at you LOL
Corgi puppies are the WORST! I mean the best, but the worst for when you have puppy fever but REALLY don’t need another dog.
It’s gotta be the holidays because I’ve had the itch recently, too. I’m a 3 pet person…I’ve just always had 3 pets made up of 2 cats, 1 dog or whatever combination (not counting fish/birds) And since I had 2 cats pass away (1 late last year, and 1 early this year) I’ve only taken in 1 cat. Nermal. The evil Siamese of doom. Maybe that’s why? lol… I’m shocked at not having taken in another cat or dog, and am very tempted to do so for the holidays.
Then again, I just spent a fortune with the two cats, as well as with the new one…and on top of that both the siamese and the poodle are due for their annuals this month and money is tight. So I don’t think I’ll be doing it this year. I’m pretty sure. Like 90%. lol
I would be mildly jealous if you did get another one. Medium jealous. Okay, 90% jealous.
great action shot of your pups. I always talk about wanting another puppy. what if someone was standing on the side of the road asking people if they would take the free lab puppies off their hands? would you take one then? I would take them all.
Just have a baby Angela…they are less work than a puppy!
(Just kidding. Kind of.)
Wonder if Maggie would be mad if we got a puppy? I don’t think she is over the fact that we moved in with my boyfriend, who has a cat!
Awwwwwww puppies!! You are so right…PetSmart is TORTURE. My hubby can’t even go in without wanting a dog, some fish, a bunny and whatever else warms his heart.
~melody~
You should get one of each. I don’t know why. I just felt like saying that.
I’m such a sucker for puppies! I want another!!!!!!
They are so super cute. I was out and about this weekend and almost came close to bringing home another chihuahua from a rescue organization, but sanity prevailed. They are irresistable, are they not? (puppies in general)
THey ain’t the least bit worried…they know how much mommy LOVES them. But I’m thinking the three muskateers would have been really sad if there were only two of them!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I love your dogs! I’m counting the days until we live in a house and can have a dog!
You are so strong! I’m genuinely impressed. You know how you obsess about something and then you see it everywhere? That happened to me once with Air Supply. I was thinking, geez whatever happened to those guys, and then they were on VH1 Behind The Music or something, and then I couldn’t NOT see them. This, of course, has nothing to do with your story. I’m just babbling… BUT, it is the season for Lady and the Tramp and everyone loves to give puppies for Christmas.
Which reminds me… I need to stop drinking Diet Pepsi in the morning.
Well, as much as I wish I could sway you away from another puppy, I’m hopeless. We had 5 dogs, one died and one went into a deep depression. We took the depressed dog and gave her a new home with my sister. She is so happy now. then there were 3 dogs. One of whom is horrible – he has no manners and needs to go away to boot camp. That’s when the note came to pick up the papers for doggie #2 (Shelby). I’m running in and out – except hubby fell in love and bought himself a Golden Retriever puppy. I did say no. I even stomped my foot. And now there are 4.
Psssh, rottweiler puppies are a sign from the devil not God.
Didn’t you see those Omen movies women?
your dogs get beds??! my dogs are so jealous. They seem to think that doggy beds are supposed to be pissed on. I HATE IT.
go on, get a puppy! do it for the PUPPIES!
Ok, Lab puppies have to be some of the cutest things EVERY. Seriously. And puppy breath. Oh joy!! Seriously.
Puppies are SO hard to resist. Total torture.
I love the photo of the dogs fighting/playing. Awwww
I (the krazy kat lady) keep begging for a dog. Someday I may wear down the hubby and I can get one. Only thing is, he doesn’t think dogs belong in the house. What is up wtih that?
