Yesterday I opened up my email to find these two pictures waiting for me:
My aunt’s black lab had puppies this past weekend and she offered us a puppy!!
When I got back from work, I immediately started talking to CP about the offer. Just a few weeks ago, CP and I discussed getting another dog; the conversation included what breeds would we consider. I had a black lab growing up as a kid and my sister and I ADORED Toby. He was a fantastic family dog.
However, CP and I are really happy with the Bernese Mountain Dog breed. Fuzzy Britches had the right amount of energy for us, she has a great demeanor, she doesn’t bark, and she also doubles as a foot warmer in the winter! :-)

We also don’t think that it is fair to get a puppy when our plans for the future are up the air. What if we move in a few months? We have no idea what kind of place we would be moving into. Fuzzy Britches is kind of used to moving and is old enough that she doesn’t particularly care….a puppy might not take to the move as well. Not to mention that money is still tight and with Christmas coming up, we don’t particularly have the money right now for a puppy.
So sadly enough, I think that CP and I are going to have to decline my aunt’s puppy offer. I may have to drive down to her house to see the puppies before they are given away though…..

They are so cute. I really want another dog but, our lab is 10 and she is busy enough for me. Plus, at this age we do not want her to feel replaced with a younger dog.
But when we get a house with a backyard we are getting more dogs!
I know the feeling. I lost my golden retriever to cancer this year and now have my remianing dog, a 12 year old Aussie Shepard mix. Everyone asks if I'm going to get another dog, but as much as I may want to in theory, I don't want to bring in an new dog with a 12 year old dog. 2 different energy levels, etc.

Mon- I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your golden. :-(
We are thinking of getting a puppy before Fuzzy Britches dies because we hope that the puppy will take on some of FB's traits that we love. Not only that, but keep FB young! (Bernese Mtn Dogs in general have a goofy-puppy nature throughout their lives)
