thanks everyone for your words of advice!!!! I haven't needed you yet Christine but I might!
Yes Emma, we are going to get a crate, just have to look around for the right one! Also we HAVE A BIRD as well!!! It's a cockatiel and it's cage sits right next to Jaffa's (German Shepherds) daytime bed!!! They are fantastic birds and she comes out of her cage and sits with me on my chest and lets me scratch her head and beak, she loves it!!!!! Somewhere on here is my story of how the bird got out and was rescued by the German Shepherd, in it's mouth!!!!
Little Dolce slept in Elysia's bedroom last night in her basket next to her bed, no mess, nothing (I had laid a big plastic sheet on the floor to protect the carpet just in case) - I got up at 6.00, took her outside, she went to the loo, brought her back in, put her in bed with Elysia and the two of them got up at 10.00am!!!! (Elysia's on school holidays)
Word of warning - if your house proud crazy, this is NOT the lifestyle for you. While the animals don't live inside all day (puppy is at the moment) they do come in and they do make mess with muddy paws or dog hair and destroy things - oh well, that's life!!! Fun all the way!!! At least the new pup is not going to be a shedder like the GS - oh boy, dog hair to the max!!!
And to think she wanted a Pomeranian - I'd be coughing up fur balls for sure! LOL
Oh - and Pam is correct, it's not a light hearted decision to make!!! It's a lifetime committment and needs careful thought beforehand. It's hardwork during the adjusment period with or without another dog!
1 Hubbie - 2 kids - 2 dogs - 1 bird - 1 fish (mine!!!!) Oh and I think Ratoulle lives in the roof!!!!
I love animals!!! To the point of stupidity - I love Mice and one day at work the boys called me out into the factory where they had cornerd a young rat!!! Wild rat!!!! They thought I'd freak!!!!
The poor thing was sitting in the corner scared out of it's wits - Well what does Del do?? I tell the boys to pick it up and take it outside, no takers???? While the boys are screaming Del picks up rat and chases boys with it while they're all screaming and yelling for me to put it down. I walk outside with shaking rat and go to put the poor thing down and it turns around AND BITES ME!!!!!! It was my birthday that day - 45 brainless years old! and guess what I got for my birthday? A TETNUS SHOT and a scar to this day. I don't know what possessed me!!!! I still shake my head at my stupidity that day - I guess I wanted to show the pussy men what a real women does!!! To this day it brings tears of laughter to them all!!! Ahhh Del, always good for a laugh!
Must run!
