I think I know all of this great advice in my head, and I think things will work out, but I'm still reeling from losing Riley and being in this position just seems unreal to me.
The breeder I spoke to last night suggested a trial period as well - knowing the breeder I'm going to, I don't think she would mind that at all. I'm not too worried about Rupe adapting - he's 4, so he's young and he is a very playful guy. It may take a week or so, but he'll be won over. I'm really doing this for him - last night I just wanted to cry - he just isn't him - listless, non-interested or focused. At least being mad that there's a new kid in town is better than lonely. As for the house training - I have 5 cats and had 2 dogs so a little more puppy pee is not going to bring my world to an end. I'm pretty cool about that - my concern was that if the little girl was used to telling someone she had to go out she may be stressed by holding it and then tinkling inside. I'm also not worried about the cats, 3 of them will stay well clear of her and the other 2 will give her a run for her money. My three legged cat rules the roost and Tucker, Rupe's personal cat loves dogs - even visiting dogs.
Right now the pup lives on an acreage with her brother and other Corgis - I don't know if there's cats, but again, I'm not too worried.
I'll try and post a photo of her when I get it from the breeder - although I can't figure out how to put them in these posts.
