Gripes and Groans

Let me start this off by saying,  that although I currently do have the best dog ever (Shelby) I have been plagued on and off with the thought that I should get another dog as well, I have a lot of love to give a pet so why not.

I have toyed with this plan a lot,  because there are so many pro’s and cons,  pro I get a new cute as hell puppy, con Shelby may be jealous and resentful because she’s been my only “baby” for a long long time.  Pro a new pup to love and train and spend time with, con the extra financial considerations… the lists go on and on ranging from purely emotional feelings to insanely practical concerns.

I have been scouring online ads for just the right pup, and have come to learn that no good deed goes unpunished,  I was briefly involved in a scam to try and get me to wire money to Camaroon, in order to receive someones pup that they wanted to ship me,  ya I didnt send any money.. but it was a lesson learned.. even though my intentions were good, there are folks out there that see one persons kindness as a chance to weasel money out of them by praying on their kindness.
