[QUOTE="DDD, post: 261407, member: 35"] I'm with Linda. Wait until your life has settled. Wait until difficult child is home to share in the excitement of adding a new family member. Chances are he would not be overjoyed at the thought of being left out of the excitement at home. Also, you are trying to get your house cleaned up for resale. There are alot of things that need doing over time. Should you get the chance to sell and relocate, having an extra pet would make the transition harder. Plus, as a retired Realtor, I can guarantee that pets do not enhance the value of your property with prospective purchasers. The house may be "just what they want" but if they are not pet lovers..forget it. If they love cats and hate dogs..forget it. If they have allergies..forget it. I understand wanting something joyful and new in your life. That's a great sign you are making progress. on the other hand, I don't think it's in your best interests right now. Of course :winking: it IS YOUR life! DDD [/QUOTE]
