On A Wild Dog Chase!

My wife and I are animal lovers, more her than me actually, but we share our affection for dogs. In past posts I've already mentioned our "son" Baileys and how he's sometimes a bit of a nuisance. Nevertheless, we do love him and try to make his life with us a happy one.

Recently, a visit to the Vet pointed out that our poor dog was suffering from separation anxiety. I don't have a Ph.D. and even I knew that! His suggestion, however, was to consider getting another dog, a companion and playmate so he wouldn't feel so alone while we're off at work.

This is where it gets interesting. I'm cool with one dog at the moment, since we're living in an apartment, but two dogs is a bit more... tricky. An alternative that came to mind, one that I hopefully won't regret later, is to get a smaller dog, particularly a Boston Terrier, since it's both our favorite. My wife was ecstatic when I told her this and she voraciously scowered the Net in search of breeders, either local or in the States. She then handed me several number for me to call and ask for puppies.

Since yesterday I've been on this crusade to find the perfect pup. No luck so far, but my guess is that if I don't keep looking my wife's going to send me to the dog house!
