Well, this is the reason why I have 2 now, so they can keep eachother company at all times and especially when I have to leave the house and leave them in their "room". However, I now have TWO pairs of sad eyes and puppy faces staring me down when I and my daughter are getting ready to leave out. However, on the other hand it is much better to know that at least they will have eachother's company while we are out instead of being all alone. So I say if you could afford it, do it for sure
