#trojs 5 which means we're 1 yr out from my apparent cycle of a dog every 6 years#its not that i dont have enough on my hands and not like i do so much with them i need another one but i#find myself borrowing a spitz to hike with to get the feeling of 3 and with how#troj has turned out it would be... very viable#on one hand she's stupidly well behaved and no effort at all to keep#but also on the other hand shes... stupidly well behaved and not the firecracker i was counting on#(my bad for expecting every sheltie to be a Sparty)#i think she'd actually benefit from having a younger dog around as well#Sparty is doing great but has a very different approach to life and energy conservation now than she did 3-4 years ago#flat out sprints to bite the trojbutt isn't top of her mind 24/7 anymore which is a little sad for troj#troj and melis jive well in that regard but theyre on slightly different planets and while troj has 0 real herding drive she is#VERY sheepdog in her play and social behaviour#ofc the question always becomes 'why do you think you NEED another dog' and i dont. and its not for troj no#but i want one. and i can handle one. and i think another sheltie would be a benefit to our household#ofc: i had planned to have a trojling by now. and if i intend to keep showing it would make sense to get one soonish#that could enter open class just as troj goes to veteran#and ive still sunk enough time (almost 17 years now) into this breed to want to take more involved steps. i still want to breed and show em#eventually#but living situation still needs to change and im honestly. still so disappointed at trojlings falling through im not entirely sure#what the next step should be#a blue or maybe pref tric little bitch from allrounder lines probably. somehow.
