He loves small dogs and I have been seriously thinking of getting a sister
for Buddy. I was going to look for a retired breeder or re-homed female
around his age and smaller tho, around 7-8lbs. He is full of energy and loves
playing with other dogs as long as they don't jump on him. My problem
is once this new pup is in my home I will not be able to give it up no matter
what circumstances come up, hence my hesitiation. I become attached
and therefore could never give it up. I have been threw so much with Buddy
I really thought, finally, things are settling down, then this! I don't want
to add stress into my live any more than I already have. He's a love and my
best pal but he's different than any other dog I have ever had. I need more
time to settle this thing now with him. Bringing in another dog and it not
working will really put me over the edge I'm afraid. We'll see what happens
with this Rescue Remedy.
