the jury might still be out.

bert and i talked. we made the kids stay inside and we went on the porch to "talk" about the dog. i wanted him to know exactly why i want her, he wanted me to know why he thinks it might be a bad idea. i understood his concerns, he understands my reasoning. despite the interruptions from the kids we had a pretty good talk. i am NOT going to get my hopes up, but i feel that because i explained myself to him and told him more about her, he MIGHT be interested in meeting her. we'll see. God knows what we can or can't handle. HE will work it out or take away my desire for a new pup.
