Another?

I've been toying with the idea of getting another dog so Zuki will have someone more interesting than me to play with. On one hand, I think she'd really enjoy having a playmate. And I love dogs, so I'm sure I'd enjoy having another. On the other, dogs can be a lot of work, and one is enough. I'm just glad Zookers isn't the type to run off. And if you have two dogs everything is twice as expensive. So maybe I should just get her some more toys. I don't know.

I imagine this is what good parents feel when they try to decide if they should have another baby or not. On one hand, the best gift you can give your child is a good sibling. On the other, can you make a good sibling? What if this one is rotten? What if your second child is a plague on you and your family? What if your family ends up being like certain families I know and the fourth is the only really viable child? Then you're stuck with three duds. And the non-dud will kind of hate you for your obviously contagious lameness. How do you know if you're not going to fuck this stuff up?

I think I'm good with one dog for now, but I still feel bad for My Little Sentence as she has to spend all day with me. And I don't do a lot of interesting dog stuff.
