Raising TWO doggies...any pointers?       09/06/04 03:51 PM Edit Reply Quote Snow for Sarala Reged: 03/12/03 Posts: 5430 Loc: West Coast, USA So hubby and I have Shana. She's between 9 months and a year old. And I want another dog. Yeah, I know, I'm nuts right! Well, my b-day is coming up and I hope hubby is gonna let me rescue a second dog!!! So here's the big question: How do I get the new addition to bond with me AS WELL AS Shana? Shana seems pretty binded with us (we've only had her since Aug 1at...but she has started scratching on the door when we leave...and her tail wags a mile a minute when we return...pretty recent happenings!) I'm home most of the day with Shana working on the children's book I'm writing. Plus I'm not always feeling 100% so I'm home then too. But I'm not enough for her! LOL And I would LOVE another dog...that's the truth. Shana's my baby! I love her dearly. Hubby and I are SO ATTACHED TO HER! We went out errand running yesterday and he wanted to hurry back home to her....so sweet! Sorry for rambling LOL Anyhow, I'm wondering if it's okay to introduce a new doggie to her at this point? When we take her to the dog park...she always wants to play with the smaller dogs...and they like her back! She's submissive...should I get another submissive dog for her? Female/male? Is it okay to get, say, a Yorkie with a Lab/Shepherd mix? (Shana's a Lab mixe with something...we've been told everything from Shar Pei to Shepherd to Rhodesian Ridgeback...no one knows for sure. As she grows it looks more like a shepherd mix tho!) Let me know if you have any suggestions...I want this to go smoothly for everyone! And I want Shana to know we love her MUCHO...and a new doggie to feel at home and loved and to bond with us as much as Shana has. O, and one more question: what's a good age to macth with a 9-12 month old dog? Thakns everyone! Love, Ruchie -------------------- Formerly known as Ruchie Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
