Shellie, he is absolutely adorable, and I can see why you fell in love already.
There are others more qualified to answer than me about a hernia, I only know that my daughter's dog (King Charles Cavalier) had one and was fixed at 8 weeks by the breeder, but that is a little larger dog.
I love the name Nugget, and FYI I really don't like the name Socrates for personal reasons. He looks like a little Nugget.
I am SOOOO happy you are open to sharing your love with another little fur kid, and you are in no way being disrespectful to Muffy. She would have wanted you and Cassie to have another little love-bug around.
More than anything, I hope you end up with a healthy pup, as you have gone through too much already with your 2. |
