I may be rescuing...

Scott called the lady last night (I didn't want to stir things up by contacting her again) and she said he is still available. She actually asked "Which one?" and I've noticed another ad up for a cute papillon pup, also with a choke chain on. I have the number of the guy to call from the condo association to see if I'm allowed a second dog.
Unfortunately, he marks. He is not very well potty trained indoors and has no obedience training. He has never been around small children, so she doesn't know how well he does around kids. She said he gets along with female dogs, which makes me think he has dominance issues with male dogs, but maybe that goes for females too. I told her I had a female dog before she told me he gets along well with females . Of course, he is not neutered, and I would need to do that if I got him. I don't think that will help with the marking though.
To add to things, yesterday Layla started coughing. By night time, it was going on every 10 minutes. I didn't get a wink of sleep all night and have called in sick to work today. She threw up before bed and continues to cough up phlegm. My poor baby She would just fall asleep and start snoring softly and then her whole body would tremble and she would start another coughing fit. I am taking her to the vet at 4 this afternoon and who knows how much that will cost me
I just don't know now if I can afford the little guy, pay for neutering and obedience lessons, and work on him not marking in my new condo... on top of the costs of moving and renovating my condo and taking care of Layla.
