Well we've decided to go look at this beautiful silky rescue and see if he and Sadie can get along together enough to bring him home.

I talked more to the foster mom tonight. found out his birthday is the day before Sadie's birthday...how cool is that??

He's a sweet boy, recently neutered so he might mark or lift his leg a little bit. If we get him i might need some help since i have no "boy" experience here. I know about those belly bands and may need some advice if he's marking a lot, she said he's lifted his leg but he always pees a lot so she thinks it's more of an accident than marking. He was dumped at a groomers by these two ladies that were probably a couple and they broke up. When they broke up they neither one wanted to financially support this dog with his neuter or some skin allergies, so they left him with the groomer at a vet's office. The vet gave him to the westie rescue and here he is needing a home. He's registered with APRI (YUCKY) as a silky terrier and about 8lbs. I don't know a whole lot about silkies so if anyone has advice let me know. they can't be that much different than yorkies can they?

Mike and I have really been talking about this a lot. We know we want to try another dog, but we don't want to put out Sadie and if she's not happy and having fun we'll have to give him back to his foster mom. We won't take him home at all unless i'm very confident that they are a perfect match.

We have decided that we're just not ready to be parents of human children and that having two dogs would be more fulfilling to each of us. Even when we have babies several years from now, two small toy dogs are not going to be a full house. If we had two labs taking over the whole bed and the couch and the whole house it would be different, but two little dogs won't be that much. We only want one or two kids anyways so having dogs will fill up the space.

Is it bad that i'm becoming more and more a dog person and not really into children anymore? After working in daycare i just got burnt out on kids. Sure i want a baby someday. but i'm sure in no hurry. i have years upon years to get there.

Anyways. wish us luck as we meet Buster and decide if he's the newest member of the family. I hope we make the right choice for everyone involved.
