You may be subconsciously justifying your inaction by underselling how persuasive that powerpoint deck is. The second slide doesn't just say they are cute, it says they are -very- cute.

Maybe Kam would eat walls less if he had a puppy to nib on??? (Not helpful, I know 😜)

I also have a 10 month old puppy that switches between being pure joy and absolute destruction. I also in a moment of insanity yesterday, briefly considered getting another puppy to entertain said first puppy. It was thankfully just a flash of insanity that passed quickly, considering how dangerous it would be to really think about this since I volunteer at our local shelter and have access to many many puppies who need homes 🤪

The art of saying NO is an underestimated capacity, but if we want to be able to say YES, it's mandatory that we manage them both, I think. Congrats that you managed to stand firm, we have to when our sanity is at stake, right! Maria

Oh man, I thought for sure you were going to cave, and I was preparing to slap my hand to my forehead! LOL- you definitely have enough on your plate without another puppy to raise!
