 Two vs One
I adopted my second baby at Easter. I felt that my baby needed a playmate too. I decided on another girl though. They are best friends, but the baby, Tia, does bother and annoy my first, Ally. I tried to make sure that would be around the same size because my neighbor's 8.5 lb yorkie is just too big to play with my 3 lb Ally. Tia was supposed to be smaller than Ally, but at six months is slightly bigger. Before Tia, Ally wanted to play with me, only. Now, she will go to dad...which he just loves. She will ignore me, if I have Tia, but will come to me to pick her up if Tia wants to play and she doesn't. Ally was shy around other dogs too, but very active with me at home. I recently had to travel for a family funeral and had to get my friend's teenage daughter to puppysit while my husband was at work. I probably would have taken Ally, if I hadn't had Tia...I guess, but I don't travel much. Ally usually goes to the airport with me to pick up/see family off when they are coming and going. I haven't figured out how to take two. I've been thinking about a stroller...not sure yet. Ally was a little over a year old when Tiny Tia came home. I think if she was older, it would have been harder for her to deal with Tia. They love each other and don't want to go anywhere without the other. Sometimes I feel Ally should have been my only one because I just adore her (with all my heart), but she really loves Tia and plays so hard with her. There is more play than her being annoyed at her. I'm glad I did it. I have two loves now. Just my thoughts. |
