I Want This Boy

[Ginger's Mom]

Thanks guys. Oooh BC_Mom, I never thought of it that way. I can't stop thinking about this guy, he was so sweet. I tried to attach his link, but it didn't work, and it is late. They think he ran from his previous home during a thunderstorm or fireworks and ended up a a shelter that closed earlier this year. He is now being kenneled at a local boarding kennel.

Sammy is a lover, Joyce. He's so fluffy and handsome. I can just see you, Ginger, and Sammy getting along famously!

He's so pretty!

I can understand why you might not want to add another dog...it is more expensive, and more hassle to exercise them, but of course I think all the good outweighs those things.

Oh, Joyce, I feel your pain. As much as I want to say *get him* your concerns are very real. *Outies* can be a real problem with two dogs. Mine never seem to have *to go* at the same time. That wasn't the case with my last two-some, but Hannah and Tucker have their own schedule for when each wants to take care of business. Add to that each one needing a different food, the vet expense, etc. I don't think I could handle the routine if I didn't work at home. On the other hand, you probably have a bit more energy than I do, and having two dogs is almost as different as having one dog is from none. When we only had Hannah, it was like something was definitely missing from the feel of our household. Once you go to two....it will always be two.

I know what you mean, Rachel, , my sister went to a two dog household twelve years ago, and would never be without a second dog now.
Zoey, he is listed as a chow/shepherd mix, and you can definitely tell he is part chow (black tongue and all); I'm not so sure about the shepherd part. Whatever he is, he is all sweetie. Well, I will keep in touch with West Jersey Volunteers and see what I can do for him. And if I ever get a backyard...
