About 2 months ago, I went into the local feed mill. I saw an ad hanging in there for a dog for sale. It a male American bulldog, a breed I have been wanting for a long time. (I want either that or a boxer) Any how, The price was way too high and I didn't give it another thought. Recently, hubby comes home and says he saw that same ad at our mechanincs shop and so he asked about the dog. Here's the story.....a nice family bought him as a puppy(he's just about a year old now). Then, they had to move to an apartment. Couldn't take the dog and planned to bring dog to a shelter. Their neighbor said no way......don't send dog to shelter, so he took the dog thinking he'd sell the dog. He put an ad in the paper, got many calls. Nobody wanted it. People don't seem to realize that American and English bulldogs are not at all alike physically. So now the man wants $400 for the dog instead of the $800 he started out at. I tell hubby how much I would really like that dog. I know that we can't really afford it right now.
Two days ago, hubby comes home after hanging out with our mechanic for a while. Talks to him about the dog again. Now the guy is willing to give the dog away to a good home.
I'm all excited, running around saying I want a dog for Christmas. Hubby just chuckles. My way of thinking.......this is a sure thing.....hubby is gonna let me get the dog. Today, I bring up the subject and he says, if the dog was a trained hunting dog, he'd take it, but he doesn't want another dog now. I got mad, and told him he should keep talking about the dog if I'm not gonna be able to get it. So.....now I'm really bummed cause it looks like I'm not getting the dog for Christmas.
