Is Two Better Than One?

I would like to start out by saying that being an adult is awesome. You don't have to report to anyone, explain yourself when you make a decision or come home late, and basically do whatever the fuck you want to do. I went to church with my mom over Mother's Day, and they had a small ceremony for 8th graders that are transitioning into high school. It just reminded me how much that time in my life sucked, and I felt immediate relief knowing I was beyond that stage. With that being said, I want to get another dog. As a kid, I had to beg for years to let my parents get me a dog. I did eventually get one, but it took a lot of work to get there. I love having Coby around because it is nice to have a companion 24/7. When we first got him, he was a handful. He still is, but he has come such a long way behavior-wise since that time. Any other dog we get would have to be a submissive female, or a dog much smaller than him (think pug). Maybe I am fooling myself into thinking that Coby could use a buddy when we are gone all day, but maybe this new dog could teach him a thing or two about attitude. We wouldn't be looking at a new canine friend until June, but I feel like it would be my chance to choose a nice, calm dog since Alex basically chose a dog with mental problems. Don't get me wrong, I love Coby and he is doing so well, it would just be nice to have a dog that we could take to the dog park. I'll keep you posted...
