Curly:
I have the same problem with my husband;-) He thinks one dog is plenty, but he is outnumbered. Both the boys and I want another dog.
Anyway, I didn't get the puppy on Thursday. I went all the way out past Superior (about 100 miles from where I live) and decided to wait. I have an appointment at the vet for the labrador on Wednesday, depending on what transpires there, we'll decide, if and when we get a new puppy.
A new puppy always turns your house upside down in the beginning and with Jake not being in great shape, it may be a little too stressful on him and he may not get the attention he deserves.
Take care,
Carola
