So I was thinking about getting an Eskie puppy when Cris deploys around Jan-Mar of next year. But I don't want to wait get a new puppy before Bolt is ready. Would a year be too short?
Too long?

I could deal with too long

We only had one large dog before, and got Cris to believe I could handle two smaller ones.

Or it could be that he was at WLC durning our anniversary and I called him crying bc Kitty was my wedding present from him.
I also think Bolt would like a doggy play mate since kids get bothersome after a while. I'm their mom and I think so too!
