I can't speek from experience but I wish I would have brought home 2 furbabies when we got Bailey. He is only 5 months but I don't think it would be much more work, but it would be double the pleasure. He is such an added joy to our lives, I can't remember being without him. The only reason I haven't allready gotten another is because we want to be financially prepared for any medical conditions in Bailey or a new babe.
