Well if she gets it she should clean up the poop. I wanted my dog when I had him - my H didn't and so I did the poop side of things. We also had an agreement that however long the dog lived we would go that long again without another dog. He live 11.5 yrs and has been gone just under 9 years.
I refused to promise that with my horse!!!! But there again she doesn't live in the house - H never sees her and I do all the work with her - he just gets the honour of paying her bills!!!!!I expect he feels about that!!

So it's time for me to leave for the football game, and wife is not home yet. She has son who is on the team, but is not playing due to injury. So.... I left.
She called me very angry because I left. Now, I probably should have called her. It was probably a passive-aggressive thing... I just told her to bring him by. Nevertheless, she was very angry, and took it out on #1 (he told me she later apologized for yelling at him). She did not attend the game, as #2 did not play.
So... we came home from the game very happy (WE WON!!). I was cheerful; she was sullen and moody. Oh, well... And no mention (or sign) of a dog....
Wow, Mark, you handled that money incident like an absolute DB Master!!! I am totally impressed - way to go.
Do the same thing with the dog - recognize that (a) she's off her rocker right now and (b) she might even be doing it largely to get your goat. If it's the latter, smile right back at her and welcome the puppy into your home. It's not the dog's fault that it was purchased by a nut case. Pull another 180 on her - the last one worked out pretty well, didn't it?

damn, mark, she is pushing buttons right and left, isn't she? and wow, I actually think it was good that you left. she knew what time you had to leave, right? did she call to tell you she was running late?
congrats on the win!

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow.'"
No, she did not call. I think what is more important is the question that you didn't ask: Did she ask me what time she needed to have #2 home? And she did not. She just smiled and drove off to hunt for a dog that we really don't need.
about that!!
