Should Milo get a friend or not Milo is just the sweetest most loving morkie, he smiles at everyone, loves all people and is just the love of my life. Lately he has become very sulky if I leave the house for an hour and return he sulks and ignores me for a very long time. Everyone says we should get him a friend, but Milo does not like other dogs, whenever another dogs comes near him he just about climbs out my leg to get away - he is really scared no matter what the size. I don't want to get another dog and have him lose his amazing personality but I also don't want him to be so bored and sulky, I feel guilty for leaving the house even just to go to the shop. He eats right food, goes for his walks, we are around most of the time, I am just worried about my little boy. Thank you |
Getting a second dog is a gamble. It is not a guarantee that one or both dogs won't suffer separation anxiety. I have 2, and they hate when their humans leave. After videotaping them, I discovered they slept and watched the door the entire time we were gone. If Milo doesn't enjoy socializing with other dogs, I would vote against getting a second dog. ETA: Don't worry about the sulky face when you leave. He has a happy life. |
i also would say no......unless he meets say a puppy that he bonds with. i would make sure they meet and see what happens from there. it might make him worse though if he prefers to be an only kid. |
It sounds like Milo needs to get out more. If he is not socialized with other dogs then you may have problems introducing a new addition. Try taking him out for walks and try to visit some places where other small dogs and people may be. A dog that is home most of the time can sometimes get a little fearful of strange situations. |
