I was going to ask you guys to "talk me down"...

<p>It seems my biological clock was ticking and I wanted a dog to add to our brood.  I've been searching and searching, but haven't found the right one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My husband came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a dog.  I said, yeah, of course!  What kind?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Husky about 6 months old.  Apparently the neighbor who I pet sat for before several times had had ENOUGH and was debating getting rid of her.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I came up with a SOLID plan.  I told my husband we would watch her for one week.  Two objectives would get solved:  one, I would either get cured of puppy desire or it would solidify it, and two, it would allow my neighbor to make the decision at a more leisurely pace.  (She really doesn't want to give her up)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Day two:  I know I don't want a puppy, maybe older dog.  Probably not a husky. </p>

<p>Huskies also shed everywhere.</p>
<p>A second vote for Poodle or Lab. Or Labradoodle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes- Poodles are too smart for their own good- but they also are extremely well socialized- or at least can be. It's also common for them to think they're human- which provides hours of entertainment - for example- if they take car rides with you- they'll sometimes hop in the driver's seat before you get there and look at you like "I'm driving today, mah cherie!" (I always imagine they have a sultry french accent).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Labs are kinda goofy - but not stupid. The sophistication of the Poodle and goofiness of the Lab will probably work well and you'll have a very friendly and sweet and trainable doggy.</p>
