| I went to the Animal Welfare League yesterday and there was an absolutely gorgeous Rottie bitch there, 3 years old (stray). I didn't realise that Artie was so oversized till I saw all the other Rotties - she towers over them!
However...when I explained the situation to the people there, they fairly agressively talked me out of getting another dog til Artie is gone. They implied that Rotties are very prone to stressing out and that all I'll do is make Artie miserable, especially if the new dog bumps her leg and causes pain. I guess if she had a slow illness and was likely to be around for months I would ignore them, but I can see the sense in this. I went through the 'no I'm never having another rottie because they have so many inbred problems' stage and have thankfully survived and will definately rescue another Rottie. Nic.
