The SPCA offers puppy grams--Balloons, chocolate and a visit from a puppy for donations.
Would you do this? Would you like this done to you?

No. The temptation would be to great to adopt the puppy. Which is what they want, and is understandable, but they're appealing to the instant reaction of your heart. It can't be a spur-of-the-moment thing, especially for the dog's best interest.
We are not in adoption mode right now. It would just be a neat twist on the whole balloons and chocolate thing. I think our SPCA is very very strict on who/how they adopt.
Although, what if the little guy pees all over my husband's uniform.... :umno:

A-MEN brother.
while it sounds cute and adorable too many will be returned or worse. while yes a few lucky ones will win the milkbone jackpot most will shoot craps. :thumbsdown:

I thought Colin was past that stage. Here, I'll save you the trouble...
Aire -----> :duh: <----- me
How would they do this - I mean, how long do you entertain the dog (or vice versa)?

No, no, no. You don't get what I'm saying:
The SPCA person brings balloons and chocolate as a gift and a VISIT from a puppy. The puppy gets petted and socialized but returns back--all for a donation to the local SPCA.
You are not adopting a pet as a surprise--it's just a "visit". Like to someone in a nursing home that can't have dogs, but a visit from a puppy for a few minutes.
It isn't adopting!! It's just a visit!

SURE... send the puppy back to dOgGiE-jAiL :(
I bet Ang wishes this was my policy.
Presented that way, it sounds better. It is pub for the SPCA, it will get media attention, again more pub. And puppies do need to be socialized (though I prefer they become capitalists).
Are you thinking of doing this, Aire?

I thought about doing it for Mr Aire. We love puppies--and never get to be around them.
But like I said--what if the little guy pees on his uniform.
And gdawg-- :P AireJr is well potty trained!!!

I strongly suggest, if you can do so, a certain breed.
You get three guesses, and the first two don't count!

Actually what sold me on it was that they talked about the retriever puppy that went out last year.....
