Charlie wants a dog

[charliesmum]

At least I think he wants a dog. He's been talking about it, but he is also imitating Verruca Salt as he does so. "Mommy.' He says, speaking in a clipped and almost British voice. "I Want. A. Dog."

I pointed out to him he has $95, and could possibly buy a dog for himself, and he actually considered it.

I'd toyed with the idea before, but I just don't think we have the time or money for a dog. (though, working 10 minutes from home does help - one could theoretically go home at lunch and let the dog out)

I have to keep reminding myself that dogs are fairly high maintenance, and probably aren't cheap to keep in food.

Because...look at this really cute dog. I want him.

Oh, poor little doggie!

I'd never get a dog you could keep in a purse. :)

I love mutt dogs with floppy ears and big fluffy waggy tails. If I ever get a dog, it'll be a dog like that. And a rescue dog too, of course. From a shelter or rescue organization.

So do you think you'll get one?

Well, the husband is all 'no dogs', so that's sa stumbling block. I'm not really sure I'm ready for the responsibility. Maybe after the holidays.
