Hi Valerie, karma you for doing your research. The decision, of course, is yours. You are a caring person otherwise this problem wouldn't be troubling you. My question to you is will you be able to forget about the 2 year old? How about spending some time with the 2 year old and seeing how it goes. There will always be baby Timnehs (your friend is a breeder) but there is now the chance to love a grey who wants so much to please you and needs a loving forever home. What is important to you about the companion you choose? Which of these important traits does each of your choices have? Good luck on your decision. The important thing is to do what is right for you and whichever forever companion you choose.
