We recently adopted (the day before Valentine's Day) our now 5-1/2 month old tri collie. She's absolutely lovely -- very spirited during the day and very affectionate and mellow in the evenings when we hang out together after the kids have been put to bed.
But - I admit - I'm a Petfinder addict now. I check my local shelters & rescues and have a few favorite doggies I keep my eye on. On the one hand, I hope they'll be adopted so they'll have loving homes like my Bijou, but I also hope they'll still be there the next time I look because I want them for myself too! I really enjoy researching websites for tips on teaching my pup good manners, and I also love learning about other breeds (besides collies, of course!) that would be compatible with my family...
My husband says five children, one cat and one dog are plenty. He's content and then some with our household. But I have a few dogs that I would adopt in a heartbeat if I could...
How do you stop at one...or better yet, how do you manage to adopt more than one and make it work?!
Our funny jewel.
