@Chealsie508:
Is two really a lot more work than one? Besides having a puppy and the costs of first year vet care etc…? I guess what I'm asking is, is it mentally tougher? I put 100% into Oakley 24/7....Does two actually double the work or is it just a little more work?
I would say two aren't anything like double the work…...once everything settles down and you develop a routine. I went from having one girl for seven years to adding a pup of seven weeks, and the first month or so of course there was more work, as there always is raising a puppy. But once things became routine, well, walking two together takes no more time than walking one, ditto feeding, etc. Of course there are four more sets of toenails to clip, etc. but really not a lot more work.
However.......mine bonded and got along great, and neither were much trouble in the house (other than "normal" issues like garbage, etc. ) If you manage to pick a little trouble maker, she might lead your currently "good" boy astray!
