Ladies,

I need some sisterly advice!!! While I was tending to my garden a couple of weeks ago the strangest thing happened as I was watering my tomatoes. This little puppy was sound asleep in my cabbage. He was a ragged little thing skinny as a rail. However he was just so happy to see someone. He is very timid so I was really careful. (Needless to say I had to destroy my cabbage )

However, as it turns out he has quickly become part of our family . My boys love him, and since I will be all alone in this big house soon, when they leave for college my youngest suggested I take him as a pet. Naturally, I went to the bible but I am still a little confused, my husband would never allow pets. When I checked the KJV for guidance I remembered these two verses James 3:7 and Isaiah 11:6.


I have had him cleaned and check by a wonderful Christian doctor, and other than being hungry he is perfectly fine. He did snap at a lady who tried to pet him at the doctors office. She is a suspected homer so I cant blame him.

I am just at a loss on what to do. My heart says keep and love him, however my husband would not approve. I am just confused on what to do, I cannot cast away one of God's wonderful creatures, and I am having a really hard time going against my late husbands wishes.


I did get a picture of him so I posted it below. He loves the bed I got in him since we do not have a dog house or a bed for him. I got him a mattress and a sheet set and put him down stairs in the maids room. He does not make messes and he is very clean!

So I have to ask what should I do??? My big heart seems to always get me in to trouble.
