I have a lot of expenses w/4 furbabies and if one got seriously ill at this point I would have an extremely hard time coming up w/the funds. Just last month for minor things (swollen gums, fleas, an infected scratch), I racked up 350 in vet bills and just today my lhasa is having runny stools so she will need to get in on Monday.

Training-- I have slacked on the training w/my last two puppies. I'm embarassed to say this buy McKenzie doesn't even know sit yet at 8 mos (we are working on it ). I am so busy running around cleaning up after them, grooming, feeding, ect ect it is really hard to get the time in w/each one.

I wouldn't trade mine for anything, but it really is much harder. Trips out with the dogs usually have to be split up into groups. Walks usually have to be taken 2 at a time.

You may be in a totally different situation and if you feel you can handle it, I say go for it!! I'm just giving my opinion on what my thoughts are for myself on if I could have another, which for me is a big ole' NO, hehe

Good luck with whatever you decide!!
With the dog with runny stools, try giving him some kaopectate(I just got a print out from the vet the other day, it said DON'T usee pepto bismol, but you can use the kaopectate. Wow, 2 little ones running around, I know how hard that is..I had 2 that were within 3 mos. of eachother years ago, once of that was enough for me.. hope your one gets feeling better..but, try the kao first and see if that helps with the runs..
