I have had single dogs for most of my life. In the past 5 years I went from 1 to 4. I never intended to get this many but things happened. I do miss the ease of one dog to care for, financially provide for and the ease of taking one anywhere easily. What I love about multiples is they always have someone with them. They love to be in their own pack yet love me too. I love watching their family dynamics and antics. I don't like the cost of 4, it's impossible to take all 4 out anywhere, cleaning up after 4 is a pain and grooming 4 in long coats takes a long time. Trying to leave 4 to go an a vacation is hard.I am glad I have had the opportunity to experience both, but the older I get I definitely think 1 or 2 would be my preference. |
