Just that really. We have a very much loved elderly dog, whom we (sadly) inherited. I would love my dog to have some company, I would love to have a dog that I could walk for miles, and I think the kids would love it.
So the stumbling block is DH. He will worry about wee on carpets. He will not want the responsibility. What can I do to talk him round?
It's come to a head because the breeder of our elderly pooch has new puppies. I cannot tell you how much I would like one. Give me some killer arguments ...
