I think the best thing is to stay off any sites that sell dogs. I'd probably research some breeders but I know before when I would be looking at dogs that were for sale it would really make me want another dog.

I really liked the idea that if you talked to your parents, maybe your mom would be willing to share half the responsibilities of him.

You and I are on the exact same boat. I so want another dog, a little brother for Kaji to have around when I'm off at work. But that thought alone tears me apart. I'd love to see two little dogs running around having fun, and knowing that they'll be each others companion when I can't. But, traveling is much easier with one. I didn't travel much in the past but I really want to start doing it now. Where ever my travels take me, I want Kaji to go too. Plus, I think Kaji would be happier with a little sister, but I just love the boys and want another little male around.

I'm starting to think the best solution to this would be to skip on another dog all together and move closer to Adi-and-Missy. Missy and Kaji could stay together during the day, and I'd still have the one dog responsibility. BUT... I still want another dog. :p We're crazy aren't we Brit?

LOL, I hear ya~ we are totally nuts! :p:D In a perfect world, that'd be great. To have a dog stay during the day but not be my responsibility! LOL. We should all just get a house and move in one place together! Ha! I wish I lived in Cali closer to Kaji, Missy and Uni!! I think the 4 dogs would have such a blast...

How about I call you when I finally find that billionaire I'm going to marry. Adi is already going to be my personal assistant, but I'm sure I'll find some "job" for you to do that will absolutely require you and Jackson to move out to our beach side mansion. ;) Just don't hold your breath, this might take a while. :p

Awesome!! I've been looking for one of those. You do know that owning a yorkie AND bringing them to work is a requirement for the position. ;)

Well, I was checking to see what your decision was. Sounds like you made the right one for you at this time.

Stop looking at petfinder or you will be going through this again in another month!

Well, guys, you're going to think I'm absolutely NUTS! :eek::eek:

I passed up on this dog.... I got myself so stressed about it. I think that means I'm not ready.

I think the MAIN reason I want another dog is to keep Jackson company because I know he enjoys the company of another dog greatly. But I had to sit down and be like... that should not be the only reason to get a second dog. And it's not like Jackson doesn't live a good life or anything! lol. I mean we go to the dog park all the time and visit my dads dog, etc.

So... NO new dog post unfortunately and I'm going to get the second dog idea OUT of my head until at least the new year.

Btw, I've been really wanting to get insurance for Jackson as well. Just in case. I think it really would be worth it.



That's EXACTLY why I got so nervous. I really want Jackson to be happy for one, and myself of course. And I am trying to make the responsible decision and not just go and get a dog... I want to really be sure I'm making the *right* choice.

So, look back next year! I think I will be more ready then. In the mean time, I'll torture myself by researching breeders and viewing petfinder. :rolleyes:

You sound like one smart girl.:) You have so many years ahead of you for a second dog. As far as a playmate, like you said their are ways for Jackson to play with other dogs. You never know what may come in your life as you are so young.... a guy, marriage, children?! As you know a dog if you are lucky can live 20 years or more. Trust me you will one day have another dog and he or she will be one lucky little doggy!
