Hubby and I are starting to talk about getting a playmate for 6 mo old Hot Rod. The question is: is it too soon and if not would a girl or boy be better? I've had friends that have had to separate their females-didn't know if it might be same for males. It's just hubby and me and I am home with Hot Rod. There are other dogs that he plays with in the neighborhood but they are really, really big dogs-3 New Foundlands, springer spaniel and labs. We are always on guard when they are together for obivous reasons. I feel bad that he doesn't have another playmate "his size". As of yesterday he is only 2.9 lbs. While I know there are no guarantees on size, I worry about him with a bigger dog.
The other question I have is will they keep each other company or am I will have even less time to get done what I need to do having 2 furbabies? My house is a disaster because I spend most of the day playing with Hot Rod or on YT with him in my lap.
I've even thought about a kitten-just lost both our 13 yr olds cats over the last year. Sorry so long but weighing everything out before making any moves.
