I gotta secret....

I'd just say "you know what"....and lots of it!

put a little bow on the cutie when he gets home.  How can he resist an adorable little puppy.  You could always visit a few pet shops gently dropping hints you would really like a puppy.

I got a adorable puggle a few months ago, I already have two dogs that are rather large.  Didn't need another one, but when I saw her I just fell in love!  She sits with me in my recliner and it is heavenly!

At one time we had 5 cats and 2 dogs. People kept "finding" these wonderful kitties for me. I would bring one home, and within 24 hrs, the little guy or girl would have a name...and once named they never left the house nor was there a discussion about finding a home for the critter.



When our big lab/shep mix died a few years ago, I told my dh that we were going to the shelter the next day for a replacement because the one left behind was grieving so badly I just couldn't stand it!

Worked like a charm.



Don't know how your husband is, but I agree with the suggestion of visiting a pet shop, go to a dog show, or visit the animal shelter. What a great mix for a little dog. How could he possibly tell you no. LOL

I think I'd break out the "you know what" ... and make it the "special whatever" he gets once a year on his birthday! lol During you can whisper, "Tell me we can get a puppy. Tell me we can get a puppy." He will hopefully be so "gone" that he will say "Yes yes!!" to anything!

I loved reading all the answers to your post.  Do WHATEVER you must do.  LOL  And, of course, include those adorable twins.

My Tasha is no longer with us.  I think I told my dh that I saw her in the paper and that I wanted to get her.  She was a pom.  I went to pick her up (it was raining horrible) and the drive was about an hour away.  My dd and I brought her home.  He could help but love the little fur ball.  We are GREAT animal lovers and now have four cats.  Sometimes I think I want another baby (dog), but don't know if I have the energy AND sure gon't have the money for vet bills for another animal. 

Do post pictures when you get your new baby.

Janis,

I don't think you are being sneaky, just practical!  I just know that DH will melt when he sees the new baby, especially when he sees your eyes light up.  Tell him sooner, rather than later, to give him time to adjust.

The mix you describe is surely going to be a doll!  My only concern would be that it's on the "larger" size of all those breeds, since you have three young boys who will delight in playing with the pup.

Be sure and post pics!

I'd just go out and get the dog and let the husband howl. 

My response?  I live here, too.  You're overruled.

Just show DH that picture.  It should warm him up but good.

Thanks for sharing.

What a sweetie pie.  How can ANYONE be upset with such an adorable baby.

Shirley

That is the most adorable baby, baby puppy! I don't think any man could say no to that!



You are going to have a wonderful time living with that cute puppy. I agree with others here, surely your twins can help convince your husband.



I'm sure the next 6 weeks will feel like forever. )
