I got Hallie when Simon was 10 months old however she was 2. I do NOT regret it but........it has not been an easy adventure for me or them. Since Hallie was so scared, abused, negloected, malnourished I felt at times I was not giving Simon enough attention and now when I love on Simon Hallie gets jealous although it is getting better. I have also had to really buckle down on retraining/training them together. I still struggle with the attention issue and make sure I give them equal snuggle time and sometimes take one on a "day with mommy" trip while the other is at daycare playing. I love them the same and get so happy when I see them playing or sleeping together. I am also more relieved when I have to go somewhere since I know they are together and keeping each other company.
I know my case is different since they are both rescues but I would do it again in a second! |
