Lindsey thats a tough call. I think of getting another dog for Gucci too. But Gucci is afraid of other dogs when they are around her she runs to me and stays on my lap yeah a mamas girl. lol I work but with my job I can come home during the day and check on her, besides my son is home too. I would love to give her a playmate but I don't know if she would handle it well. So as of now I opted not to..
It is a hard decision that you need to think through. |

We had one boy and then we got another - we wanted a girl, but didn't have that option when we got the second boy. One is neutered and one is not. They play together, but don't fight at all. And actually, as they get older - one is 4 and one is 3 - they don't play nearly as much. Maybe once or twice a day, they play for a little while, and the rest of the time they are sleeping or sitting on our laps. I think they do keep each other company - but they don't really play all that much. However, when one barks the other starts up. They are not big barkers, but they definitely do feed off each other's barking. It is harder traveling with two, but I wouldn't want it any other way - for us. I'm thinking that I'd advise you to wait - but it's a call you'll have to make.

I have 5 Yorkies and 1 Golden Retriever. They all get along, but WOW...the noise is deafening. If I knew then what I know now.....one would have been enough....lol. I love them all and they all have such different personalities, but I think one would have been so much easier and a lot less work.
I'd really think about it.

Well, last night I got an email from the shelter saying the dog I liked has been adopted. The girl with the yorkie stopped replying after I asked if a trial period would be possible. Scott and I talked and decided everything happens for a reason... maybe we'll just stick with Layla for now. We'll make more of an effort to keep her entertained and get her out of the house and socialized with other dogs (although it's so hard in the winter when it's so cold!). A new friend of mine is having a doggy day at her house on Sunday so I'm going to take Layla over there. She has a little shih tzu so I'm hoping they'll get along

And even nicer to be providing food and snacks to keep my tummy entertained
 Maybe I'll meet some nice dog owners there and we could take turns hosting doggie days. It's really tough to get outside in the winter for socializing here.
