So in my arguments/discussions with my boyfriend about why we should/shouldn't get another dog (specifically I want a cavalier) I have been able to debate most of his cons but he has stumped me with some so I am coming to all you helpful people. I love Zoe to death (btw, she learned to "shake"yesterday, yeppie!), and think we would enjoy one more dog. She is all potty trained and is getting pretty good with stay and come. Riley does not play at all and most of the dogs that Zoe is around are either older or way smaller/bigger so she does not have any good dogs to play with. Also no dog park where I live and since she gets carsick... not going to drive to far. Anyways, I think we need another, he doesn't. His arguments:
1: Zoe will get jealous.... With people adopting their second, was that a problem?
2: has to do with giving both dogs enough 1:1 attention... There are 6 of us that spoil Zoe rotten with love and attention, I had the same thought when I had my second child and it never crossed my mind once she was born...
We are both home a lot. Our house is ready, I would like 2 dogs (Riley is great but she has always been his dog), I would also like to have one close enough to Zoe's age/play level so that they can grow together.
Please help us win this battle!
Zoe's best friend is a cat right now!
