I don't know. I've become a huge advocate of peace in the household. It used to be such a big deal and caused so much tension between Mark and I. Now that I've let it go, we're all getting along so much better. I'm sure that I'll really feel strongly about it again. When that time comes, there are a few things that I know we'll agree on, so that I can make it happen.
The particular breed thing helps, I think. Or, in any case, particular colors. He knows that black dogs are at a disadvantage, so if we can help black dogs, he's always cool with that.
Also, the time thing. When I took Mabel in, it was agreed that she would be the last one for awhile. We didn't define "awhile" but we both knew that meant a little sooner than he'd like, and a little longer than I'd like, but not right away.
