In fact if either my wife are walking him and another dog or jogger or bicycle goes by we put him in the sit position and he stays there until they pass. Yesterday we had him neutered and he's doing good. Once he is fully recovered we will be taking him for some more extensive training. Although Bonyta will live forever in our hearts we've found there is plenty of room for our new guy also!!  |
Mookie has a great story (and a great name!), and now a great home. I still get heart-tugs over our 20-year-old cat who died in 1990. Every single pet takes a little piece of you with it. But we've always found room for the next one, who actually helps redirect our sense of loss.
Sometimes it's a case of "I'm going to strangle this puppy/kitten/bird/whatever before he reaches age one!" But I personally believe in the healing benefits of getting a new pet sooner rather than later.
