When i got gatsby i had wanted a girl but i fell in love with him and just couldent say no so now that im in a bigger place and roomate free. yeah! I was thinking that i would get a little girl but gatsby was so lonely that i found a littel dog on craigslist that was on its way to the humaine socity its a chiweenie (chi-doxie mix) her name is chichi and she is a little girl but i noticed that a lot of you have more then two dogs and is it eny diffrent then one or two dogs and should i wait until gatsby is a year old he is eight months old now and chi chi is a year i live in a big house and a decent yard i have 1 1/2 acers and a big fenced in area off the back porch. i am home at noon everyday and if i have to go enywhear else they go (i live in a very dog friendly town even the giant eagle lets me put them in the cart as long as all the food goes in the top)so i have plenty of time but i worry that gatsby will not be willing to share mommy enymore then he already is and chi chi is just now settinling in should i wait or should i just not worry about it and bring her home the breeder gatsby come from has a girl that she thinks will be perfect for me she will be ready on gatsbys ten mounth birthday

I say go for it!

I have a 2 year old male Maltese Cody, and I too pondered the same questions. I thought hard about and long before I decided to get Cody a playmate. About 3 weeks ago I got Colt. An 11 ounce, 12 week old Yorkie.
I would say the 1st night Cody was selfish with his toys (and he has a lot of them) but after that, he became the best big brother. As a matter of fact when Colt takes a toy away from Cody, he gives it to him freely. They play great together though Colt does wear Cody out often. I was so afraid of the "sharing Mommy" issue because the reason I wanted to get Cody a playmate was because he is so attached to me that if I do go somewhere when I can't take him, he goes through seperation anxiety really bad though I live with my boyfriend. My house can be full of people but if I am not here, he sits on the back of my couch, staring out the window, shaking until he sees me puul in the driveway. Anyway, I say go for it. I was hesitant but so very glad I made the choice to get Colt. I now have 2 little boys I love dearly.

I have two and they love each other, but I would take gatsby to see the little girl. I did that with Ivy and I felt better. As soon as they saw each other I knew everything would be ok. I don't have to tell you it's 2 times the everything, vet bills, food, on and on. But I would say go for it :D
