It's so nice having a dog that will just sleep in with you 'til whenever, and I started thinking if I had brought a second dog home last night, it definitely would not be like that anymore. When we sleep at my dads house with their dogs, he's ready and up at 7am. I know that's a little different, because those dogs wake up early so he hears them, etc. I'm sure I could condition another dog to sleep when I sleep, etc (Jackson wasn't always like this!) but I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
I guess I have to keep telling myself that maybe this just means there is another dog out there who's even more awesome waiting for me. |
Maybe it's not so much the dog isn't right but maybe this time in your life isn't right for a second dog? I'm not trying to be mean or anything but if I didn't have my own place theres no way in heck I could have two dogs. It sounds like you go to your dads house often and he already has two dogs. that's 4 dogs in the house. Maybe he won't really like having two dogs coming over to his house. I know my mom won't let me bring all 3 of my dogs over. She will babysit my two little ones but no way will she watch my 3rd dog because she already has a big dog.
I think you should just enjoy Jackson and when you have your own place get a second dog. It's so hard being under someone elses roof, I just don't see getting a second dog a good idea. I know it's so tempting being on YT! Everyone is getting a second, third, or 4th dog. I know at times I want to get another yorkie but then I think and say that is just crazy for ME! lol I think some people go overboard. I've been hearing alot lately about "animal hoarding" and I think I have enough pets already. lol
