When my children(3) were small we had one dog, she was kept plenty busy with the goings on in the house. I got Ziva because all my children are grown and she is great company but things were too quiet and she started to become possessive and bored. We got Abby when Ziva was two- picking her out for her easy, loving, laidback nature- not her looks! The transition was a little touchy but Abby would have none of Ziva's jealousy. They are good friends and it has been great for Ziva, but would have been a bit too much with young children. |
