Hello all! Hope you are having a wonderful summer! Snickers has been having a phenomonal one! She has met MANY new friends at our local dog park!
Here's the scoop....after months (what seemed like forever) my husband has finally gotten on board with the idea of a "sibling" for Snickers. I am excited/nervous/feeling thoughts of "are we nuts" But all in all I am extremely stoked! We are definitely getting another Basset, but are still undecided on a puppy or older dog that we rescue (i bounce back and forth, for they both have thier own pros/cons...but leaning more towards a pup)
OK, my question is this...another female, or a male? I would really like 2 gals, but hear that they may not get along so well. Snickers has a very sweet disposition, and she has been around both sexes...when she's at the park though, she primarily hangs with the girls...cause all the boys want to do is mount her...perhaps I have just answered my own question, but it's always nice to get feedback. I also keep in mind that when we do go for another pup, she will be totally involved in the process, and want her to help pick her "sibling"
I have some time to figure it out, for we will probably not put our nose to the grindstone till we get back from our Vacation in mid Sept.
BTW the name Reeses is at the top of my list...then I can call them the "candy girls (or kids)"
