I want to get a new puppy, but I'm afraid ill eat it. Any thoughts?

We have decided to get a puppy but my mom in law says its a commitment and has commitment issues so what can I say to ease her?

The talking one?

My wife and I rescued our 3 rd dog so far in our marriage. We always rescue from shelters and we got our current dog a little on the younger side: 1 year old. I cannot imagine my day without my dog. He is a 1/2 English springer and 1/2 border collie. He is super smart and very affectionate, a definite family dog who needs lots and lots of attention ( we do not mind ) I would say it is worth it no matter what the cost to have a best friend to hang out with. I agree with you that saying good bye to your dog is one of the hardest things to do, but I still continue to rescue (1 dog at a time) because the benefits far, far, far outweigh the costs.

I am committed. I'm just scared of those sad moments that happen in movies like old yeller and that one with the kid from Malcolm in the middle. What I wish I could have is that darn British gecko.

What sad moments do you mean

Well in Old Yeller the dog dies. I'm figuring as old as the book/movie is, spoilers are okay at this point.

Though it still makes me wonder who was so screwed up that they thought making Old Yeller dog food was a good idea. I still /boggle every time I see that at the store.

Yeah I knew of old yeller. I was sure he wasn't planning on shooting his dog so I wondered what sad moments he was afraid of.

Maybe you can just buy some of that and put a collar on it...

I know what you mean. My dog got sick, went to the vet, found a place to treat her, and she made it to the waiting room and couldn't hang on. All happened within 4 days. I went to the SPCA where I found her and just like the first time another had been brought in. I pushed some children out of the way and snatched the tag and brought her home.
