My husband and I rescued a dog last January and we absolutely love him. Up until recently he was crated while we were at work and at night but as he has gotten a little older we leave him out now so he has some more freedom. We think he gets very lonely being by himself all day and we feel bad leaving him all alone. We have discussed getting a second dog to keep him company but are unsure if that's a good idea. We are actively TTC and wonder if a second dog would just add problems when we do finally conceive.
So my question to current dog owners ... If you got a second dog did it really help keep the other one company? Or is it really just double the work? Thoughts on owning multiple dogs vs just one!
My biggest problem is that we went to a local animal shelter over the weekend to donate food and fell in love with a dog there!
Re: Question for dog owners
I think it all depends on the age and demeanor of your current dog. If he is older and/or more laid back, a new rambunctious puppy probably wouldn't go over so well. That's just my experience. All depends on the pups I think
GL!
For us we have just kept up the two walks a day to try to wear him out. I'm sure he gets bored but ours also has the backyard during the day. At almost 3 yrs old, I no longer worry about him during the day, but still feel a little guilty. If we had another puppy at this point, I think I would have regretted it.
