Need advice for getting a 2nd doodle ASAP!

[Kendra K. Rhoton]

Hello everyone, so we just got Remington about 3 months ago. He is my dream dog and so wonderful in every way I can imagine. However, we have been wanting another dog ever since we got him. I have always regretted not getting his sister because they were so bonded. We found some puppies for sale near us from a breeder and are planning on going to see them Thursday at 6:00. However I need ADVICE!

I'm an the one in our relationship that thinks about all the negative things when doing something like this. Dan on the other hand is the one who thinks about all the great things that will happen if we do this. Because of this Dan has his heart set on getting the second dog... and I'm a little bit hesitate about doing it.

I would love it if you all could give me your two cents... pros and cons of having two dogs, good stories and bad stories etc. I'm not specifically worried about the money aspect of this even though I know this is an issue, but I'm more worried about when the time comes that Dan and I start having children and how we are going to deal with two dogs and well and juggle the kids.

Any advice from multiple dog owners would be much appreciated! I need it!

Bottom line is...if your going to do this, it does not really matter what anyone say's, it's how you feel about the situation and if you feel your making the right decisions. My draw back to all of this is...Are your dogs in a truly "Forever Home"....12, 16...20 years is a long time..and sorry but relationships can fall apart, and we are faced with not only kids seperated from parents...but pet's also, and seperated from kids. A lot of people in the world think its to easy to dispose of a dog, they don't think of it as a problem they created. You wanted honesty...you got it....
