How do I explain to my Fiancée that it is best to wait in getting another puppy after we are married?
Currently, we owned one little weenie dog and I adore her with all my heart. But having two weenie dogs is going to be more responsibility. Especially we both work full time and we live in apartment. Also, I have wedding expenses in putting away for honeymoon and her wedding ring. We just can't afford another puppy right now and I prefer to wait after we are married. My fiancée desire for another puppy, but I really feel it's best to settle down in our lives before adding another addition to our family.
How should I explain or what should I say to her?

Tell her lets have a BABY?
instead?
See what she says.
Don't go adopting another puppy . Bad idea
Oh and remind her that even having a baby of her own would take atleast 9 months of waiting so don't amke any hasty decisions.
tell her that , tell her eventually you want kids and would prefer to wait till your married.
And tell her about all the expeses you guys have.
Tell her that puppies live long lives and if she is planning on having children then you need to let FIFFi remain an only child until you can afford another Sibling so to speak.
Trust me this will change her mind in a whole other direction.,
Just as scarey but at least it'll buy you some time.

If you have tried to explain all of the above to her, and she did not understand or didn't find it compelling - there's not much you can say to change her mind. Your arguments are good, but there's something to be said for the opposite side of the argument. Having two dogs isn't THAT much more responsibility than having one (i.e., it'll take the same amount of time to walk and feed two dogs that it does one). And in some ways, two are better because they keep each other company. I don't think this is worth fighting about; if getting a second dog is THAT important to her - then get it. Not a big deal, IMO.

I, personally, think you did a wonderful job above! I would certainly tell her you love her a few times in there...but tell her it is the best for the time being. Besides, Weenie Dog #1 needs her share of individual love from the both of you!! We have two dogs and they are constantly competing for our attention.

exactly as you explained here. if my husband gave me a timeline of when i could get a puppy (and told me what he would need from me to help make it happen) i would stop bugging him about a puppy.

Just like you explained it to us, if he is reasonable he will listen
