A puppy is going to take up even more time and can definitely not be left alone for 9hrs per day. Westie Club of America Nancy's Westies - Home raised, loving family pets |
Emmett lives my mom and I for three years until I moved out in August. He has been alone with her since then, and she is very attached to him. My mom can be vicious in her guilt trips, and if I were to try to take Emmett away I would never live it down. Also, she lets him Mark all over everything and I dont think I can break him of the habit at this stage. Also, my fiance wants to keep a cat, and Emmett hates and tries to kill cats..
As for grad school, my first, most difficult and time consuming semester is over. I will have loads more time from now on, with independent studies and thesis hours and such. Also, I am a TA at my grad school, and the faculty have said I could bring my dogs to work with me as long as I keep a kennel in my office.
I would like a Westie, but yorkies will always be my #1. I just didnt want to feel like I was trying to replace Emmett... I would really love a female yorkie (no marking).
Speaking of cats... I live in Louisville, KY. Does anyone know where I could find someone who breeds Scottish Folds? I have looked without luck. This is the kind of cat my fiance is considering.
Thank you all for your help!!!
