Background.... I am 42 ish, married for over 21 years with one skin male child who will turn 20 next month.

I have regretted not having another skin child. If I could do all again.... Any way that is not an option at this point in my life. My Brutus came into our lives on a whim - no idea what I was doing or what I was getting into. What a blessing he has been - brought my family closer, so many many laughs, so many smiles and so much love. I never thought I would literally LOVE a little mut like I DO.

I want another one. I am scouting out petfinder and craiglist daily. My dh wants me to wait until spring to make sure that I am serious and that Brutey will be ok with a sibling. My thoughts are this - wouldn't it be easier the younger they are?

Should I have another single furbut like I did a skinbut and spoil like crazy or should I just go for it and find another? I would not buy from a breeder, but from a rescue - just my preference.

I have considered fostering but don't know if I could give the baby up in the end. I would end up with a dozen!
