So Nervous

[jennyjoan]

I have now had the opportunity of getting a maybe 9month old Jack Russell again. ( think it is miniature) - not sure.


the owner of the dog is pregnant and has already an older dog and is keeping it.

I have been asked do I want Jack2 and I am so nervous since I am on my own that sometimes think I cannot cope.

I know when he and I becomes pals I will be happy. At the moment my big worry is if he is so young it will be difficult for me to housetrain him - particularly at the moment since it is so cold. He, eventually will be an inside dog.



when I look at Mr Harv and NOT KNOWING - but it was so hard to train him and even after 10 years he still had the odd mistake.

Just wish there was somebody here with me to share the responsibilities.

Do you think I can do it without help. thanks for any replies. JjCon

PS Friends have been saying "oh leave until after Xmas " - Oh What is Xmas -just another Sunday day of eating and drinking. JjCon

Have you decided what to do?

I miss having a dog, my last one died in 2001, but I live in a flat and it isn't really an ideal situation. My two moggies keep me busy.

There are good arguments for getting a puppy from a breed that you think is suitable and also good arguments for rehoming one from a rescue place (this is where I got Robbie). Use your brain and not your heart - something that is easy for me to say but is never so simple to do.

Good luck. If all else fails I could post a cat to you - she is long haired and beautiful, she is also fierce and stupid. I love her to bits though.

susan, you would never be parted from your little darlings Merlin and Frankie. :). I hope conn is not disappointed again, she so misses harv.

Chris - the vet had to muzzle her so she could be weighed. That paper looks as if it might hold her for a nano-second.

Anne - I love them very much, but Merlin can be very frustrating at times. She craves attention, Frankie craves food.

The furrys can live for a long time these days - it is a big responsibility. I rather think that my two will outlive me and then they will go and live with their Uncle Andrew. :-D

JJ, if you have doubts, leave it. You will find your companion one day. You will both know.
