possible addition to the family


today we went on a little road trip to meet a dog that might become a part of our family. he is a shiba inu and looks very similar to the dog in this photo. we are already in love with the little guy. our main hesitation is the fact that we already have two cats. will it be too wild in the house? he is a very mellow dog but we are still a bit concerned. how many animal friends is too many for a family of three with a medium sized house?

  1. at one time, we had 2 dogs and 4 cats in our 2 bedroom condo! He's not too big -- my vote is go for it!!!

  2. I was thinking I wanted a dog, too! It sounds fun to go on family walks with the dog.

  3. Oh my goodness! He is ADORABLE!!! You know how I feel about having a dog in the family - it's such a wonderful thing. He and Conrad can have play dates.

  4. what a cutie! there are people in our apartment building that have dogs bigger than that, sometimes more than one and sometimes coupled with a cat or two! spaces here are either 400 or 625 square feet. but most of them seem to do quite well so long as they have attentive owners (unlike our upstairs neighbour). your home is more spacious than ours and you have a lush green yard to escape to, so i think you are very well equipped to handle another friend!

    i would just say give the cats extra attention so they don't get jealous of the new guy!

  5. well, the cats will HATE the dog and be a bit testy for a while. But, they'll all learn to co-exist and find their respective spaces in the house. You'll LOVE having a dog!
