No 2nd Doodle for us...

[Kendra K. Rhoton]

Thank you everyone for the comments you left on the discussion and blog that I posted about wanting to get a second doodle. We have decided against it... unfortunately. We canceled the appointment we had with the breeder as well because we knew if we even went to see those puppies we would want one.

So I pretty much felt that at this point in our lives we were not financially ready to have another dog. I want to be able to care for Remington and another dog the best that I can. I would never want to just do it half way. Dan and I love Remington with all our hearts and the thought of not being able to provide him something that he needs would break both our hearts.

Also, we really need to think about all the other things we need that will be coming up soon. Such as wedding/honeymoon stuff... furniture for the house... stuff for school... etc. etc. etc. If I have even a little bit of doubt about getting another dog then I have no business getting one. Even though I really would have liked another one... there was something that kept pulling me back... (Maybe my mother's voice in my ear) HA!

So for right now our search for another doodle is on hold. But it is nice to be able to refer back to all your posts and comments about the pros and cons of a 2nd doodle! Thank you!

Smart move! Get Remmy all trained and settled (and your life settled) before you get another...good decision :)

Smart decision - if you can't be 100% sure then wait. Honeymoon, furniture, school - important things also.
Oh, your mother is one smart woman!!

I know it feels good to finallly have the matter settled.
