Canine lovers come in all types, shapes, and sizes, much like their beloved pooches. But if you’re not sure whether you should get (or stick to) just one four-legged canine friend, or you should consider enriching your life with another, take these signs into consideration.
You Don’t Have The Energy
In fact, two dogs are three times as much work as one dog, so the overall motto of the subject is: go big or don’t bring the dog home.
Many dog owners are under the impression that it’s easier to take care of two dogs than it is to take care of one dog, because they think that the pups will somehow help each other out when it comes to training and exercising.
Naturally, that’s not the case. You need to take individual care of each pup, so if you don’t think you can do it like it was meant to be done – don’t do it at all.
Your Friend’s And Family’s Dogs Might Need You
This is a thing of mere emergency, but if a lot of your friends and family members have dogs, you should always have a spot for their pets in your home, if a situation were to ask for it. The owners could get sick, they could go on a trip, or they might want to throw a huge gathering which wouldn’t be convenient for their pooches (nor the other way around).
Whatever reason may be for the doggy-sitting, it’s important to have room for emergencies. Also, whenever you feel like getting another dog, you can spend time with some of their pets to see if that’s a good idea at all.
