well right now we have three, and may get a 3rd. We are still considering him but don't know. It's my great aunt's dog so we'll see what happens, she's going into a nursing home.

Oooh what type is he?
a sheltie. We're not sure if we're going to take him. We're going to go visit him to see if he's ok with kids. My great uncle was considering having him shipped to Tennessee but I know in a few years my great uncle will be going to a nursing home too so then the dog will be in the same boat and I'll have to figure out a way to get him back from Tennessee.

I have 2, and contemplating getting a 3rd (researching, deciding on a breed) but that might be delayed because I got a call this morning from the lady that I often foster from and she told me a real heart-string-pulling story, and I'm having a real hard time deciding.

It would be an instant 'Yes!', of course, but I'm worried. She's supposedly a 3yr old Cocker Spaniel that is having a hard time being homed because she's blind in one eye. I've seen her, and she appears to have a cateract that deffenatly needs to be checked out further by my vet, and health issues always concern me. Her card originally said 'needs to be only dog,' but when she called me she said nothing of the sort (and she knows I have 2 dogs) so I'm wondering whats up. After spending time with her I'm guessing she might be toy possesive with other dogs, but its just a gut feeling because she didn't show any signs of anything; I'm worried about that. I don't know if I want to risk upsetting the pack that is finally getting settled - my cocker has taken over that alpha dog roll and I fear it will greatly upset her if there is a bubble in the wrap. :p
I wish I could just explain it to Maddie and ask her if its okay :D
