Trapped in Time

Another one of the minpins from Forbin’s breeder just had a new litter of all chocolate min pins (not pictured here), rather than the red or black and tan variety.  I’ve been giving it a good amount of thought, and I’m going to get one of them in mid-December to join Forbin.  I’d love for him to have a permanent companion (rather than just when he visits home and stays with the other dogs) and think he’d benefit from it in the long run.  However, at 3 1/2 years old I think now is probably the best time to do it or not do it at all.  And given that he could live to be anywhere from 14-17 years old, I think a companion is something he could benefit from.

Plus, I’d love to have another one of these adorable little dogs in my life.  There’s something about the personality of a minpin that is so different from many other breeds that I just love to death.  Call me a softy or a little dog guy if you will (though I’d never have another breed of small dog), but they’ve taken a permanent place in my heart.
