It is HARD taking two. The thought exhausts me. Sometimes we take Ellie by herself though.
It is hard to take both outside at once in the city.

I agree that there is a difference in taking two places compared to one. It is a lot different than just having one in my opinion. And yes, I also agree it is a lot harder. Doable but harder. Many times I just take Rosie because she is used to going with me.
I also agree about having different things to deal with when taking in a rescue. Mikki was not from a rescue. I got her from an individual but there were still issues to deal with. We are still dealing with things now. However, again it is doable if you really want it to work. But be prepared to face those issues.
One more agreement with Ellie May, be prepared for double the expense and then some. I haven't had Mikki long but we have already racked up some vet bills on her. The last visit alone was over $200. Of course, she needed shots, heartworm test, etc. We had to do this because we didn't know her background. With a rescue, I think they take care of all of this before you get them.
It is a tough decision. I know, been there. I think if it is meant to work out it will.
Mikki is proof of that.
