My boyfriend and I were together for almost a year and split up a month ago. He had two cockapoos (almost four years old) since birth from a previous relationship. I now have one and he has the brother. I'm new to the whole owning a dog on my own, so I have a few questions and concerns.
1.) My dog (Bopper) seems fine now; he's eating and drinking, goes potty outside, plays with toys, sleeps with me like normal, but he was always a bit "gloomy." His brother (Boomer) now lives with my ex and they are thinking of moving back east (where his family is.) They have had one "play date" and it was just a lot of growling and each of them wanting to be in said owner's lap. I'm under the assumption that they don't miss each other, nor do they NEED to see eachother. If my ex and Boomer did in fact go back east, would it cause any permanent damage to either dog if they never saw each other again?
2.) I live alone now and feel a little sorry for Bopper being alone while I'm alone while I'm at work. I was off sick last week and all he did was sleep with me, so again I'm assuming that's all he does anyway lol. But I was considering getting a little cat friend for him, but I've looked online and a lot of the stuff I'm finding is talking about introducing them when they're both young and they'll adapt better to eachother. Bopper is almost four so I'm not sure if that's still considered "young."
If anyone out there with more experience with cockapoos has any advice for me, I would certainly love the feedback.
