This calls for a two pronged attack, Avenlee:
1) Take hubby to look at puppies "so I won't get weak and bring one home."
2) Cry quietly when you get in the car to leave without a puppy. If you get all the way home without one, immediately go to your dog and bury your head in his neck. Sniffle for the rest of the night. Stay up late ("can't sleep for some reason").
Now, granted, I've never had to resort to this, as I tend to go ahead and do what I'm going to do, being a great believer in the concept that it's easier to get forgiveness than permission (along with the idea that some things I don't need permission for, lol, but that's another thread) but I've watched some REAL experts pull it off to great effect
