i'm sorry if anything like this has been posted before and i missed it. but i did search (ALOT!) and didn't find anything.
i am an animal person in general, hard to find one i don't really like. but i love dogs. i think its crazy to not own a dog. sadly, i do not own one. i do live somewhere that allows dogs, but i rent. don't wanna get a dog, then have to move for whatever reason and end up not being able to keep the dog. but, i do have cats. and this gets into the meat of my question. my two cats are 4 and 2. this means 10+ years left with these kitties. My husband is a cat person strictly. other animals are cute, but he doesn't want to own them. this has been the cause for many a fight between the two of us(maybe not a fight, more of me making a sad face and moping.) After 5 years i have finally got my husband to at least make a deal with me. if i leave him alone about getting another animal (specifically a dog) before the cats die, then when the cats DO die, he will let me get a puppy, a kitten, and a bunny. at the same time. to raise together.
does anyone know how well this will work out? is there somewhere i can get information on this? am i setting myself up for extreme disappointment? was my post confusing/meandering?
and no, i am in no way hoping or wanting my current cats to die. at all! never having this deal go through would be worth it if my cats could live forever! also, i've never owned a rabbit before, but i figure 10+ years is alot of time to learn what i need to be ready for.
oh, and i'm sorry if i don't use proper english typing skills. i be a lazy one with that. oh, and grammer. spelling too...
