We had to wait though because we were in a rental and shared the home with two other people.<br /><br />We've been in our new house for about three months and we got Chowski a little sister about a month ago. She is a Miniature Pinscher and so very adorable and cuddly. A completely different personality to Chow.<br /><br />My partner and I are so happy with a second dog because we each have a dog to cuddle on the sofa and to walk. Not only that, I feel much better that Chow has someone to keep him company at home when we are at work.<br /><br />It most definitely is twice the mischief BUT I wouldn't have it any other way! Haha.

Our first dog was just one, and when we lost her it was devastating and the house was way too quiet. We got another single dog, but then a family member was looking to re-home their beagle and that's when we got a second. It was the best thing we ever did. I think we went overboard going up to 4; I still haven't decided if 2 or 3 is the right number, but I don't think we'll ever go back to having just one.<br />Jan, Wag 'n Woof Petsjank1961https://www.blogger.com/profile/02300333186503144220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660403021590106773.post-39178495736864134052014-09-12T23:49:23.482-05:002014-09-12T23:49:23.482-05:00I have been seeing the splinter leashes on differe...I have been seeing the splinter leashes on different blogs and they look great!M.

Like you said it depends on your situation and available time. <br /><br />For us, four is our limit, our cars can't hold any more than that, between Kevin and I we only have four hands but splitters make life much easier when Kevin or I have to pull double duty and walk all four solo, dog food can be expensive, but if you have a good quality food the amount you need to feed is easier to manage, vet bills can be a pain to manage, but teaching them to be okay with the vet is easier with more (take all of them in even if you only need one to go, it teaches the dogs that they don't always get handled or poked a the vet), and you are never lonely!<br /><br />ps sorry if this posts numerous times, google is acting funny for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210417703910789344noreply@blogger.com
