We get to the house and at first Gizmo was giving Belle kisses and they were "greeting" each other. But then they started to play and run and tackle. Gizmo was the submissive one, rolling around and being the little lover that he is. And I couldn't help but watching the two of them and think, "Wow, Giz loves other dogs, I wonder if I should get him a playmate."
I talked to my DH, and we agreed that financially right now, we are not ready to take on another one. Not that couldn't purchase another Yorkie, but that if there were any health issues, it may get sticky. So we're deciding to cut some monthly expenses and see maybe by the holidays if Gizmo will be getting another sibling.
But that's not my real question. I guess whatI'm worried about is being able to give attention to two furbabies. I spoil Gizzy rotten and I love him being with us everywhere we go, including the lack of vacations we go on.
So I guess I'm asking, is it easy to divide your attention to two fur babies?? Is it worth it? Do you think Giz, although loving the new family member, his personality will change because his Momma isn't always focused on him??
I know I have awhile to think about it, but still. I want some opinions. |
I don't think there would be a problem. I now have 4 yorkies and they are all loved and spoiled. They now get along great, I just make sure everything (eating, treats, bath, etc) is done in the order they joined the family. No one gets left out. When I only had 2, I would take them with me but now it is complicated and they are happier at home. I can not imagine not having one of my babies. There will be an adjustment period , but I am sure Giz would love a friend and playmate.
