    Yep! As a matter of fact my grandmother's dog passed away a couple months ago and her youngest son showed up with a pure bred female Yellow Labrador that is about 4 years old and super calm. The dog's name is Annie too which is awesome as it's really close to my grandma's name. It can happen! Make sure the person you intend to surprise is looking for an animal to insure the animal will keep it's home. It's a wonderful surprise when the family is ready!

    I didn't get a dog, but I did get 2 ferrets out of the blue when my neighbor was trying to find homes for them. I surprised my hubby when he got home and he said we can keep them. We are animal lovers and my hubby has just as much of a mushy heart as I do for anything that's furry & has a wet nose!

    An animal should never be given as a surprise. Giving a pet as a gift is ok only if the person asked for it specifically. A spontaneous gift of an animal is extremely irresponsible.

    1. This was a gift to your wife so presumably you would be able to care for the dogs if she refused.
    2. Just because something worked out doesn't mean it was a good idea.

    If you are an animal lover you should be seriously ashamed of yourself for promoting the idea of giving animals as surprise gifts.

    I got my daughter a puppy for last christmas. She was 5, so I picked it out and knew I would have most of the responsibility. I got her a small chihuahua. (she is a very gentle child) Trixie (the dog) is such a highlight of our home now! She is a sweet girl with tons of personality. Just hide any shoes with leather laces.

    For the record before Road to Perdition keeps hammering my post lol..........i do have 3 Lab dogs which in fact are rescued dogs, and I have more than plenty of space for them, inside and outside the house, second i like big dogs and so does my wife. they even swim in our pool when supervised by either one of us. They have their own room on which they sleep and current with their medical history.

    When i got them it was not a matter if it would work out or not......It was meant to work out so I was not luck :) ......so yes I do find the funny they way she was surprised but part of being married is have enough communication to know weather the surprise is going to be a great one or not........SPECIALLY when we knew we wanted to get Labradors...just saying

    My dad found a a little kitten that had been in the back of a garbage truck from Wisconsin to Illinois at work. Luckily, she didn't get compacted, and since she survived that he figured it wasn't fair just to let her loose and I ended up with her.

    I WISH! I told everyone all I wanted for Christmas is a little German Sheperd puppy. But my parents won't let me get one so I have to wait until I can afford my own place. WAHHHHHH! :cry:
