A funny thing happened yesterday that suggests getting a 2nd dog (like we were thinking about) might not be that easy since ours gets very jealous about other dogs. We stopped to buy carpet at a local store, and the owner had two of her dogs there with her. Since she was busy with other customers and we weren't in a hurry we just sat on the floor like 10 year olds and played with these 2 cute little Yorkies until she was free. When we got home, instead of the usual "love fest" that occurs when we walk in the door, we got the sniff treatment. Much like the wife who detects stripper cologne on her hubby, our dog wasn't pleased. After the sniff fest (with NO tail-wagging) she ran into the living room and jumped on the couch and just sat there, looking dejected. Not her usual behavior by any means and one that put the idea of introducing a new dog in the house on ice. (A recycled pooch pic, since I can't find my USB cord to upload my new pics).
