Hello I hope everyone is well. Gotta question.....We have a 5 yr old dog "Scar" (the love of my life
) and didnt
lan on getting another dog. Then "Charlie" kind of adopted us...see he was tied up all day and night out side of my hubbys work like a shop dog or something by some guy who I personally think was abusing him, well someone had because he would cower and just act very scared of everything it was sad :-( ... anyway a few months ago we were having cold fronts here in So Fla and I couldnt sleep thinking about this dog sleeping outside so we went and picked him up and took him home for a few days. We gave him a bath and I gave him an advantix and a Heartguard OH ..... FYI My vet told me that it is always best to check the dog for worms first because if he would of had heartworms and I gave him the Heartguard his heart would of exploded because it kills them all at once. (he explained it in detail) so I thought that was good to know. Well anyway to make a long story short we took Charlie back to the guy at the shop which I didnt want to do but at that point he wasnt ours. So a few days later we were sitting down for dinner and we heard some thing at the front door...it was him. He had traveled 2 miles and through a busy intersection to find us. We found that some what amazing so we told the guy that we were keeping him and that was the end of it. So..... Scar is a pit and Charlie is a chow shepard mix both boys.
Scar is very teritorial and jealous I tried bringing home a little girl pit for a little sis for him and that didnt work out too well she got by his pig ear and he bit her. I found her a great home and never thought about the idea again. Right now we have Charlie in the middle room most of the day and at night we let him run the house and close the door to our room. I rotate them during the day but for the most part Charlie likes to stay in his room during the day. I do feel bad though when he whines by the door..... I just put up a baby gate hopefully that is ok. I guess I just want to know that he is ok being semi separated.
What do you think? Should we ever put them together and if so what steps do I take to get there. I dont want there to be a dog fight, that would be awful. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
