Come on girls! You're going to get me in trouble! LOL
We did go to the pound last Tues to look at Zoey, a rat terrier mix no longer listed at the web site. So we are thinking of a second dog. The weather is getting colder, mamma has pretty restrictive parameters of when I'm allowed to take Gucci on his walks. Wind, rain, temp, any one element outside of her parameters is enough for her to say it's a no go Gucci sort of day. I understand, Gucci is old, pretty slow most of the time, needs extra care of a senior from extreme weather and such. So a second younger, maybe slightly bigger, dog was to fill in for Gucci the more inclement weather days on our 3 mile walks.
#1 on the list of priorities is in no way could a new family member, dog, be allowed to adversely affect Gucci's position. From what I've experienced in the past, that's a bit of a roll of the dice. Introductions of the two dogs are short, Gucci loves every dog we meet on the trails or on the street. BUT, LOL, what would happen if we actually brought a new dog into "his" home? This pound's policy is once you bring the dog home, if a situation pops up where it isn't going to work between the two dogs you can bring the dog back but you don't get your $275+ back.
Tues night, while we were still thinking about adopting Zoey, I received news of my mother's passing back in Helena, MT.
