My reason for only one dog: right now I have One dog and one significant other of 15 years. If I were to bring home another dog, I would have 2 dogs and no s.o. I have to respect his desire for no more dogs because he really wanted to be free of responsibilities after raising his kids, and he gave in on Tallulah to make me happy.
I think Tallulah would love a permanent playmate but I'm doing the next best thing by taking her to Yorkie Camp while I'm at work.
I would not be concerned about not being able to love a second pet. Each animal is different and you forge a different but special bond with each. The pros and cons others have listed are excellent arguments for both sides. |
