Connections w/ Your Dog

[Corinna]

I think you should let some one else enjoy the love of a BC . Your sibs have Molly and you have Mickey. Bringing in another dog could cause Mikey to feel left out , he seems to be Your dog .

You can't always feel a special connection between each dog you own. I love all of my dogs, but Tango is the only one of mine that I actually feel connected with and I hate to say it, but yes, I obviously do have a favourite between my dogs. Give it time, you may never feel a connection with her but that's ok. She's still loved by the rest of your family and I'm sure you must love her too. This other BC will find a great home, I'm sure.

I agree with the others, spending more time with her will probably help you and Molly bond. But, I also think not every dog is "right" for every person. You may not feel as strongly as you do about Mickey, but I'm sure you'll come to love Molly in your own way.

I don't have the same relationship with Adele as I do with Marta. I found Adele on petfinder and thought "This is the dog for me," but you know what, it was still hard for us to adjust to having another dog around. I love her dearly, but her and my husband share more of a bond than her & me. Marta is my special dog, and Adele is his (but of course, we both give them attention and love, it's just we each share a special bond with one of them). I think eventually you will "click" with Molly, it will just take some time. In the mean time, you can try spending some quality time with her and of course with Mickey too. Good luck.
