I’m getting another dog. When my husband and I had our first baby, I already had a “baby”. Her name was Penny and she was a black and tan mini dachshund. She was the sweetest little thing! I had rescued her from an abusive environment – poor little girl had lost most of her teeth and had a rib that was broken (I don’t even want to know how that happened!) and never healed right. She was afraid of men but she loooooooved on me all the time. I could go on and on about her for hours, but I’ll spare you all the details. Suffice to say, when I had to give her up, I was heartbroken. But with a newborn in the house, I just couldn’t devote enough time to my fur baby anymore.

We already have a dog, but ever since I had Penny I’ve wanted another doxie. Jim finally agreed. (He’s getting a trip to Vegas, I’m getting the dog!). We were going to wait til next month or maybe March to get a doxie puppy, but I just found one at a rescue site and emailed the current owners…so we’ll see!

[...] First a little background on the current guys trip arrangement, and how to score it for the married dudes. The key to every successful marriage is compromise, also known as negotiation. A couple of years ago, my wife wanted to get a mini daschund – we had previously had one as a pet. Now, we already have one dog (a chocolate lab) and she wanted to add another to our family, so we struck a deal. For every year that we own the dog, I get to go to Mardi Gras that year. Unfortunately for me, Mardi Gras falls during a very hectic time of year for my job, so I haven’t gone yet. But what I do is substitute a different location where some debauchery can take place. Good clean fun. And nothing says good clean fun like Las Vegas! [...]
