I really, really want to get another Malt, a pal for Angus. The only obstacle? My husband, who is totally opposed to it.
I have been working on him for the past month, and I finally saw a glimmer of hope yesterday...he's not so vehemently opposed now (moreso still saying no, but less firm, if you know what I mean).
We have just spent the week with my in-laws who have two American Eskimos, and Angus had an absolute blast having someone to play with. Now that I see a wedge, I want to pour it on, to convince him to let me get a second.
What would you say to convince someone to get a second Malt? I have been trying to explain to him the value of Angus having company throughout the day, so that he's not lonely when my hubbie's out at meetings (he has a home office but leaves for periods during the day to meet with clients, or sometimes he's out of town on business, so Angus spends the day solo
).
I also mentioned that two are no more work than one (i.e., another bowl of food, etc. If I'm caring for one, adding another will not be that much more). Are there other reasons you'd add?
Help?
