One of my husband's co workers has been talking to him about her son's Maltese. Her son wants to get rid of the dog because he hasn't been getting along with their baby. The wife (and I assume him too) is attached to the dog and this has been hard on them. I posted about this dog on the AMR site but after a while it seemed that the family decided to keep the dog so I haven't brought it up again. Today John's co worker talked to him about the dog again.
I want this dog but am not sure if we will be able to keep him. I really want to but I will have to see if it works out. Also John's co worker is thinking about taking the little dog in. So here's how this can work. Either the family decides to keep the dog (this is unlikely), John's co worker takes the dog, John and I take the dog, or one of you takes the dog lol.
Ok here's the history of this dog. Obviously he is jealous and doesn't seem to get along with children so whoever takes the dog should not have any children. I am hoping that his jealousy does not extend to other dogs too because we won't keep him if he bullies Fantasia around (Fantasia is gentle and not dominate when it comes to other dogs, in fact she is scared of other dogs). So I do not know if he gets along with other dogs. He is an intact male and hopefully will be neutered soon. If he is not, then it would be up to whoever takes him to get him neutered. He is about 2-3 years old (I would have to check with the owners with this). This dog does mark and needs to be trained not to. He goes outside and is good about it if you take him out often enough. He is also a tea cup Maltese and only weighs 4lbs. (half of Fantasia's weight!).
John and I defiantly can't take him until after the holidays because we are going to my brothers and they have two babies (almost 3 and almost 1). It would also be a pain and almost impossible to take two dogs on this trip with us. I would take him in a heartbeat (today) if I had a choice in the matter but I can't.
So I guess I am posting this to get a feel of about how many people would be interested in taking him in.
Oh he lives in South Jersey so you would have to come to Jersey or live close by to get him. Please let me know if anyone is interested.
If John and I take him it wouldn't be until after the holidays and if he didn't end up getting along with Fantasia, it would be temporary until we could find him a new home.
Thanks everyone!
