Just tell me something...are we crazy?
After getting Astro, my family and I have completely fallen in love with the whole Spitz group. While researching Huskies to prepare for Astro's arrival, we stumbled across many Alaskan Malamute websites. After reading all about them, we took Astro and Lexie for a walk the other day and one of our neighbors was walking her Malamute (that I never knew she had...lol). Imagine that...lol.
Anyway, after talking with her about her dog and getting to know him...we have fallen in love with the breed even more. We would love a Malamute of our own...but we have no idea when it would be appropriate to do so. Astro has adjusted perfectly to our home, and already acts like he's been there for years...I can't believe it's only been a week! lol. Lexie absolutely adores having a 'little brother' around...although I don't know how little he is...lol.
With that in mind, would it be to soon to start looking around for a Malamute? My older brothers and I went to a local shelter yesterday 'just to look.' Ironically, we stumbled upon this gorgeous Malamute. He's a little over 8 months old, and a complete angel. He's like a big teddy bear. Apparently, his last owners had to get rid of him because he was a little too much for them...both size, energy, and expense.
We took him outside and played with him for a little while, and now I'm completely in love. I managed to drag my mom out there this morning, and now she wants the dog just as much as I do...lol. I guess my question is, are we wrong to even think about bringing another dog into our home...especially after just getting Astro? Please keep in mind that Astro really does fit in well at our home, and honestly acts like he has been there his whole life.
I've posted a poll along with this...just to make it visibly clear for me, lol. Opinions please...
