I have 2 but I would love to have another. My husband is keeping me in line on this tho. I know the medical costs could be a lot when they get older. We recently had 3 elderly dogs that were all sick at the same time. One had cushings, one had thyroid disease and one had heart disease. All 3 needed really expensive meds every day for 3 yrs. The tests and meds were so expensive.
Also, when we travel we have been lucky to find some places to stay that will allow 2 dogs, but my husband said he thinks it will be hard to find a place to take 3. We will never travel again without our dogs because we have had bad experiences leaving our dogs at kennels. One that was at a very expensive pet hotel in a "suite" was almost dead when we got home. She barely made it. No one called to tell us she wouldn't eat and she was so weak when we got home she couldn't stand up or even open her eyes. Never again. That's just us tho. I know a lot of people won't have these problems.
