i just told J i would rather have a puppy than a ring. we have been together almost 10 years. just dont know how Roxy would act with a puppy.

 

[Packleader]

I love it!!!!!

 

[Claire's Friend]

Engagement puppy, I love it !!!!

 

[Heidi36oh]

I bet Roxy would love a puppy around, Congrats!!!!

And take a down payment on a house over a wedding!

I think that is a great idea. A big boy puppy so Roxy can have a little brother. Good idea Denise. Do you know of anyone with puppies? Maybe you can take Roxy to meet some to see how she would act. If not a puppy maybe a rescue dog. There are some younger dogs that would make a great addition to your family. And you wouldnt have to go thru that potty training again. LOL

I've always told B that an engagement ring around a puppy's neck would be ideal! He has a list of breeders that I okay! I really believe in the ring, but a puppy in place of a diamond on the ring would be more than ideal!

 

[AquaClaraCanines]

Yeah, I'd much rather have a puppy than a diamond!

 

[Noey]

Puppy over ring...I agree.

Your Roxy will be fine and a puppy will make Roxy younger. they need the company.

 

[beccacc31]

I think after 10 years you deserve both!

 

[New Golden Mom]

Oh yeah puppy over a ring any day. My friend has the best of both worlds. She got a puppy in April and last month her fiance tied a ring to the puppy's collar and surprised her with a picnic and a proposal...how romantic is that?

 

[Willow52]

Do you have to choose just one?....puppy!

 

[BeauShel]

I was thinking about this earlier and I think a puppy and a ring is in order. You can get a smaller diamond and still get a puppy. Then get a really fancy wedding band.

I never really understood the fascination with diamond rings. I think it would be nice to have some small engagement gift that you'll have forever, but it doesn't need to be big or lavish. Just a remembrance of the day you got engaged. If you're going to spend real money, a puppy is a great way to go!

 

[kwhit]

My friend got a Mastiff puppy in place of a diamond engagement ring. She named her "Sparkle".

 

[Loboto-Me]

Oh yeah a puppy would be great! And then you could name it "Diamond" because he/she would be your diamond.

 

[paula bedard]

I'd say 'Puppy' too. You can get a very nice inexpensive cubic zirconia for now and replace it one day with the 'real thing'. I didn't get my diamond until our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I wore a zirconia and no one new the difference.

 

[Mighty Casey and Samson's Mom]

You lucky lady! Go for the puppy, and definitely name it "Diamond".

 

[Bossoli]

That's a great idea! Congratulations on both!

 

[Elisabeth Kazup]

It's so hard to cuddle with a ring....go with the puppy.

I like the CZ idea. They have some real beauties out there now. Not only that but you can pick a good setting and just replace the stone later on. That way you still have the sentiment of 'the ring'.

Oh and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
