Noooo don't hand me a puppy

At work tonight and the kids at one house brought through a blue Staffy pup and held him out to me asking if I wanted to hold him (well it would be rude not to) seems he is one of 8 just turned 8 weeks old and 3 of the litter are still to find homes

Head is screaming back yard breader but Staffy owner niggle is wanting to know colours of parents and all the other questions that you would want to ask but I daren't in fear that the melting heart at holding an inquisitive pup does not need to have more fuel to want me to give a pup a home when I really would not be realistic that I could raise one

Aww Ledger would love a brother or sister

This is the key question. What quality of life could you offer? For the sake of the pup, s/he deserves the best life where s/he can grow and develop with lots of stimulation and exercise.  And to think about the feelings and behaviour of the incumbent.

Exactly could offer an excellent life of regular exercise, socialisation, training and eventually agility and flyball more than i know that the average person will give however as a single working person despite help from parents and a dog walker unless I had a good block of leave to settle a pup in it really would not be fair on the pup or Ledger

I couldn't consider a pup for the same reasons but I'll always be able to give a rescue a good home
