I don't take her to dog parks or typically places where there are a lot of dogs. To be honest, there arn't that many places around here to take her. My next door neighbor has an older yorkie mix of some sort and to be honest, Sasha cares more about seeing my neighbor than she does the dog. She doesn't act mean toward her or anything but just doesn't really care that she's even there. Of course if she's outside and someone walks by with their dog, she barks and goes crazy but then again she's protecting her territory. I honestly think she would be fine especially since this puppy would end up being about her size full grown and is obviously starting out smaller than her right now. My mom thought it through though and doesn't think it's a good time right now to get a puppy. She thinks it will be too much which I understand her point. I wasn't all 100% for it as well either, kept having doubts and "what ifs" whereas when I first got Sasha it was a 100% yes. Maybe eventually down the road we will add a puppy but for right now, it's not the best choice. Thank you all for your advice!
