Ok Ok, enough with the suspense. I went to a somewhat local shelter in the hopes of bringing back a few adoptable dogs to boost our adoption floor. We're low on dogs, and like to help out other shelters when they are getting overcrowded. Well, I found two cute Aussies and one cute, adorable actually, fuzz face. I can't believe I don't have a picture!!! It will come shortly. Anyway, she's about a year old and probably a Lab/Griffon mix. Or, she's a German Wirehaired Pointer. Or, maybe a terrier? Although, I really don't think so... Anyway, what's important is that she is a FUZZ FACE!!! Plus, she's perfect!!! So sweet and well behaved. She heels when you walk with her, sits when you approach her and loves to play with other dogs. Oh, and she's ADORABLE!!! So, here's the thing. Why isn't she sitting next to me, cuddled in a dog bed rather than the Kuranda bed at the Shelter? I can't decide if I really want a second dog!! It's horrible isn't it? After all this, I find the perfect one and I can't commit to her. Ugh. Oh right, Stella also has to love her too, but I am assuming that won't be an issue. So, do I adopt her?? Those of you that added a second dog to your life must have some words of wisdom! Is one dog really that much easier? I need help....

Nadia - I think that 2 dogs are mandatory! One can keep the other company and 2 aren't that much more work than 1. Now, when you add a third is when things start getting crazy and they are a pack. And this one, Scout, sounds peeeerfect - except he isn't a PITTY!!!! love me PS love this site! Rach
ReplyDeleteDude -- if you have to think this hard about it, perhaps it's cool w/ just Stella for now. You know me, people (i know you can't imagine who I might be talking about) are often bugging me to get another dog, a shelter adoptee....but somewhere deep inside I know that now is not the time that a second will work into my family life. That's all there is to it - and maybe that's what is going on for you right now????
