Would I be a fool?

[staceyv]

I had a dream about adopting two shelter dogs while I was taking my nap today. Just out of curiosity, I did a search of available dogs within 2 hours away. I must've looked at pictures and read descriptions for 1 1/2 hours. Now, I'm the bitchy, cynical type. I don't cry at movies, I've even assisted in euthanizing well over 100 pets without a tear in my eye (when I worked at the vet).
Yet, when I saw this little guy I had tears rolling down my face.
I feel like going to adopt him first thing tomorrow morning. Arsen will tell me I'm crazy, that I had too much time on my hands this week, that the dog might not even be around another year. But- look at him!
And I have a 9 1/2 year old chihuahua. They'd probably be perfect for each other.
Should I get him? Or will you try to talk me out of it then?


"Jake is a 12/13 year old Min Pin who is an absolute love. He's housebroken, well behaved, crate trained, and a cuddler. He just wants to be with you, in your lap, preferably. Jake gets along with other dogs, cats and strangers. He's not much of a barker but will make a wooing kind of sound when he sees people outside. He loves to perch on the back of a couch, by your head, and gaze outside. Jake's previous owners moved and could not take him with them. Oh, by the way, he doesn't have any teeth anymore - they were rotting out of his mouth, but he does eat normally. This sweet guy definitely deserves a home that will love him shamelessly."
