I think the MAIN reason I want another dog is to keep Jackson company because I know he enjoys the company of another dog greatly. But I had to sit down and be like... that should not be the only reason to get a second dog. And it's not like Jackson doesn't live a good life or anything! lol. I mean we go to the dog park all the time and visit my dads dog, etc.
So... NO new dog post unfortunately and I'm going to get the second dog idea OUT of my head until at least the new year.
Btw, I've been really wanting to get insurance for Jackson as well. Just in case. I think it really would be worth it.
That's EXACTLY why I got so nervous. I really want Jackson to be happy for one, and myself of course. And I am trying to make the responsible decision and not just go and get a dog... I want to really be sure I'm making the *right* choice.
So, look back next year! I think I will be more ready then. In the mean time, I'll torture myself by researching breeders and viewing petfinder.  |
I think the best thing is to stay off any sites that sell dogs. I'd probably research some breeders but I know before when I would be looking at dogs that were for sale it would really make me want another dog.
I really liked the idea that if you talked to your parents, maybe your mom would be willing to share half the responsibilities of him.
