Should I get another dog?

[Tonya]

They ALL catch my heart and eye! Mike and I just talked about it. I think we are going to get another dog, but we are going to wait a while first. I can't set foot into a shelter until the time comes. Otherwise, I'll be bringing home a dog or two before I'm ready.

MAYBE ?? the way to handle this is to send just
Mike & Junior to the Shelter
on a shopping trip... ??

Let da Boyz pick out a Good Possible #3...
then You and #1 + #2 Dawggies can go in and have a looky-see...

It is impossible to keep a 5lb dog in a fence.

Well, that is, of course, simply not true. It is impossible to keep a five pound dog is some fences, to be sure. But I have literally hundreds of customers with 3, 4, 5 or 6 pound dogs, and they all stay in their fences just fine. My eight pound dog has never gotten out of the fence.

You stated that you weren't the right home for a small dog, however. I think you need to stick with that. If you do decide to get another dog, I think you need to get a larger dog.

I'll correct myself...It is impossible to keep a 5 lb dog in a fence with Roxy's digging.

I think you are right...no small dogs. I've been thinking about it all day. I am just missing Teddy so much that it makes me feel like another dog. But I am going to wait and/or not get a dog for sure. I'm just going to pour that love into the rest of my pets.

Does Roxy get along with other females?

It'd be great if you could have your dogs meet the shelter dog before you make the decision to adopt. A lot of shelters do this, but I'm not sure about the one by you.

Roxy gets along very well with other animals. I'd trust her with anything. I'm going to wait. I think when I brought this up this morning, I was just feeling sad. I'm so used to Ted's little feet pitter pattering around the house.

I think it's great that if/when you adopt you want an older dog, they never get a first look in.
Maybe you might fall in love with an elderly dog!

All those dogs you listed look great. I'm sure you'll find the right one when it's time. There are so many good dogs out there wanting homes. Wish I had a huge place because they'd all be with me.
