I can only give so much love, attention and money to my dog(s) fairly. I think if I was going to have a lot of dogs, I would need help to give them sufficient exercise and discipline. I would never own more dogs than I can walk at 1 time. |
Good answer! I have two, plus I work a full time job and it gets to be a lot sometimes. Buster is a finnicky eater so I spend a lot time working with him. Buster and Maggie both want lap time and they don't want to share. As for financially, I think two is the most I can do for now. I have spent a lot on vet bills in the two years that I have had Yorkies but that is ok, I would rather take them to the vet than wonder if they will get better or worse. I would love to have more Yorkies but until I don't have to work or I become independently wealthy...! I can see me getting another at some point but I would want to have enough time to spend with them. My two babies want a lot of affection and attention and I love to give it but there is only so many hours in the day. I have been off work four days for the holidays and they have been so happy. They will really be happy when they get to take a trip later today to visit relatives!!
