You are going to have to give Toby that extra attention while he is recovering from major surgery. Plus most dogs get a little jealous when a new puppy is brought into a family. I think you have to get Toby healthy first and then afterwards get your new puppy. Remember a new puppy takes a lot of work and your time. |
Excellent point, especially since you work outside the home and will only be able to take 1 week off. I wish you the best with whatever you choose to do, and I hope Toby is back to 100% quickly.
