No Doge Adopted Today.
I decided not to adopt the puppy. He was super sweet, and I hope they find him a good home. He was just too big for us. Remember how I said he was "1/2 Scottie, 1/2 miniature Schnauzer"? Yeah, well, I added that 'miniature' part in there, it wasn't part of the actual description. So I was expecting him to be Banky sized, maybe a little bigger, like 20-25 lbs. Nope. He was probably 35-45 lbs. Which is not huge, just more medium than I would prefer. I feel like, at this point, if I bring another dog into the house, he should be the same size or smaller than Banky at that time. Even if he's going to grow, I think having a new dog be relatively the same size at first would work out best. And, honestly, I'd prefer a small dog. Thanks for the suggestions for introducing the dogs! We met in a church parking lot that had a lot of grassy areas. After the first couple minutes, they didn't really give a shit about each other. Huge thank you to Mar for taking the time to write me back with suggestions and ideas on how best to integrate a new dog into the family. It was very helpful and I'll be saving it for if/when the times comes to bring another pup into the mix.
