One of my neighbors adopted a sweet little dog the other day. She brought him into meet me, and he’s really quite adorable.

  The girl that adopted him decided that he didn’t work for her, and with her dog.  We took him for a walk with our dog, and then took him home for a little bit, so we could see how they did together off leash in the apartment. Now, we have a one bedroom apartment and it is kind of small. But, we walk our dog a lot, and how much harder would it be to walk another dog with our dog? 

But our dog has separation anxiety. Would having a second dog add to that, so it just becomes more anxiety? Or would it help calm him down a little? The second dog, Chip (pictured above) hs been adopted two times now, and returned two times. He’s been in numerous foster homes and has bounced around, so I would assume, even though he’s as sweet as could be, he probably has some separation anxiety of his own. However, he does come with “Barkbusters” training, for his entire lifetime. So…it’s hard to say.

I certainly don’t want to make things worse for Titan – he is our “only” and our “first” so I want to make sure he’s as happy as can possibly be. (We’re going to be starting him on anti-separation anxiety drugs here soon, so we’ll see how that goes. Wish us luck!) But if we can give this sweet little dog a good and loving and stable home – that’d be a good thing, right?  I just have no experience in this, and I KNOW we’d be good for this little guy. But would he be good for our big guy???? That’s the question.
