I got Chewy, felt sorry for him being alone all day, got Choupette, worked out great, then I fell in love with this little guy Tucson (french for a little bully, all 4 lbs of him) then adopted my Mom's dog (Shih Tzu) when she could no longer take care of him. All the while DH said no more dogs... So 4 is a great number, would like another but city bylaw says 2 at the most so can't go much higher than that. We have a great old time and would not give any up. Life in our household is just so much fun. They all love to snuggle and my bed is not longer big enough, thinking about going to a king..
