Oh boy this post made me so sad. If you remember I have a brother who has a female Westie named Millie so I had sent him McKinney's picture (the adorable one of him lying on the keyboard). His wife, who has cancer, smiled when she saw that picture and he said she doesn't smile often! I am sooooo sorry to hear McKinney isn't around any more. I really, really loved hearing about him. I think your sister put the cart ahead of the horse, if you don't mind my saying, because instead of getting McKinney a friend, he still needed to be worked with himself. Sadly, I am sure this happens everyday and everywhere. Poor McKinney. He deserved better.

I also think your sister really bit off more than she could chew. First of all I would never attempt to bring a new pup into the home with a puppy that is only 5 months old. Even if she is home all day, that is quite an undertaking and one that I certainly wouldn't be up to. Oh, I really do hope that Sydney works out for her and that McKinney is happy wherever he is. This is so sad.
