We lost our 10 yr old female to cancer last week. We have a 5 yr old male who was recently diagnosed with BCM. We also have a 7 month old female.
Since Maci's passing Boomer wants nothing to do with the pup. I know he is grieving and hopefully that will change. We got Raven the pup for Boomer as a playmate because Maci was no longer interested in playing. Boomer and Raven have bonded well, but not like Boomer's bond with Maci. Since Boomer's diagnosis of BCM he really hasn't been interested in playing much. He actually gets annoyed at Raven. Now I have a pup with a ton of energy and no one to play with.
Enter Dexx. He is a 2 yr old fawn in foster locally with Carolina Boxer Rescue. Was on his last day in a kill shelter when CBR rescued him. I know nothing about him except he hates cats and gets along well with other dogs.
Raven is not fully trained and in a crazy stage right now. Boomer has his own issues. However, I would like Raven to have a playmate closer to her age. Am I crazy to even consider adding more stress to the mix?
Dexx sure is a handsome boy!
