Why I thought that, I don't know.
That I could even think of turning a blind eye to any little one in need is absolutely absurd. So, I just wanted to let y'all know that I have 2 new additions to the family, and that if I get any free time now it will most likely be spent sleeping.
Whoever coined the phrase "dog tired" really hit it on the head!We have a new gray calico kitty named Coe, rescued from a "close encounter with the dog/cat catcher" at work, who after spending a day at the vet for spaying, etc. has settled in quite nicely as Trooper's "girlfriend". (Boy is he happy!) The day I was to bring Coe home I spent the whole morning trying to figure out what to say to John to "save my marriage" because, once again, I had broken the "NO MORE ANIMALS" rule. As luck would have it, John was in the same boat. He beat me to the punch and sent a text when he left for work simply stating "Attention: DOGS. We now have a Sharpei puppy in the Patio yard (our big back yard is divided into 4 dog areas) with Spike and Penny." Whew!
He is a chocolate Sharpei puppy (about 2 months old) we aptly named Melvin Moto Moto. He was wandering around our neighborhood when my husband grabbed him just as he was about to become "road kill". I've checked the paper, posters, vets, etc. but apparently no one is looking for him. Hard to believe because he's so ADORABLE! He gets to have his first checkup next Friday when Coe has her stitches removed. We had to add Moto Moto to his name because after eating his meals he looks like a fat hippopotamus. (And of course my favorite movie is "Madagascar 2".) He a handful though. Fortunately, after having to keep him out back because he chewed everything in sight in my house, including all the puppy pads for my indoor babies, my rotty/lab Spike took to him like Father Goose - they eat, play and sleep together. I'll try to post a pic of him if he'll hold still long enough.
Well, that's all for now. I don't dare disclose how many I have now in our "family" but my husband's joke about buying an additional house just to make room for us is beginning to seem like a pretty good idea. Haha!

Sounds like you and hubby are made for each other; neither of y'all would probably be happy if the "rules" were rigidly enforced, not to mention your furkids!
