[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 229140, member: 3419"] :devil:[COLOR=red]Yes! [/COLOR][B]No![/B]:cool_dog: Don't count your chickens before they break from the gate. (LOL. I was never good at mixing metaphors.) I have the same addiction. I stop by our local SPCA once a wk, and read the classifieds in two local papers every day. Why? We are not getting another dog until spring. (At one point we had four big dogs. husband was not happy.) As my husband puts it, when I stop by the SPCA, it's like an alcoholic going a bar. If I had more acreage, and the kids were grown and gone, and I won the lottery, I'd be the proud owner of every 4-legged creature from there to Sydney. Don't let the warm, fuzzy feeling overtake you. Think about the stress you had recently with-your difficult child. Then, think about getting up super early to feed and water the horse(s), on the same day your difficult child gets the stomach flu and throws up all over the carpet. And throws a shoe through the window. And makes you REALLY late for work, a job you really, really want ... and want to keep. And your boyfriend is working overtime and can't help out. (Is this having any affect on you? I'm holding smelling salts under your nose.) Someone, like you, will buy those horses and give them a good home. There are lots of good people like you out there. Right now is not the right time. You have so many balls in the air. All it takes is to drop one and they all fall. Things are going pretty well for you. Keep it that way. Get a routine established. Now, when I post about wanting another dog, you just cut and paste this note and change "horses" to dogs, and send it back to me, okay? :) [/QUOTE]
