So, I have in my mind that Charlie shouldn't be an only dog. I want another one... Not now. In about a year or so.... Since it took me 16 years to bring OH round to having a dog at all though, I reckon I had better make a start now. How to make him have the idea himself that a 2nd dog would be wonderful? (With apologies to all the male forumers (copyright Jen on the term) it's always plan A to make them think it was their idea all along...). Hmmmm.... It might be a spaniel, could I get him to think a spaniel is the best thing since sliced bread, I wonder?
Re: 2nd dog... And husbands... I bought mine an old tatty land rover in exchange for another dog (maybe a spaniel if I'm brave enough and haven't made a mess of Riley )
Re: 2nd dog... And husbands... What? You have agreement that you've paid in advance for another dog? Wow...impressive...

Re: 2nd dog... And husbands... What about one of those lovely clumber spaniels, and then you could also add the point that you are saving a breed. Maggiex

Re: 2nd dog... And husbands... Hold your horses now ladies before you go rushing out to purchase new dogs, I have a very handsome Labrador x Pointer with his bags packed ready to go to the first taker, as lord knows you couldn't do a worse job than me I need a rest I think it's very exciting that you are both thinking about getting second dogs. I would never do it again just too difficult for me. Good luck to you both though. Helen xxx Heidrun, wouldn't you consider a different breed??? x
