I honestly thought this myself...how could I love another as much as Gracie. It is kind of like children though. You love each one of your children. We got our second in December and I love her dearly. No regrets at all. So while I thought I could only have one we have two to love and twice the fun. I think it has been great for Gracie too! Which is a BIG reason I wanted a second so Gracie could have a sister.
