| I never felt that way. I AM SO GLAD I have 3 and going on to 5!!! My 3 loves each other!!! More love to go around. No favoring one or the other. It all depends on you. Goodluck!

| i cannot imagine loving another dog as much as I love Keno, but I know it is possible ... examine your reasons for wanting another dog ... and remember, it will be twice as expensive to care for two ... plenty of people on YT have more than one dog and handle it ... good luck,

| I've always had 2 dogs all my life and now I have 3. I love Suzy more than the others because she's mine, the other 2 are my Mum's - they NEVER listen to me, they just come to me for cuddles. But the other 2 I love equally, although differently. They have completely different personalities but are equally adorable. As previously said, just examine your reasons for wanting another one. Write up a list of the pros and cons and go from there. If you're having second thoughts about it don't go through with it until you're sure you want it. If you go into it half-hearted then you will end up having problems. |

| I am having the same problem. I stay home right now but will be starting school back up soon full time. At this time Parker isn't going to know what it is like to be alone a lot by himself and I don't want him to have a hard time. So I really think its in his best interest to get him someone he can have when I am not here. So like everyone else said out way your options. I don't think you will love one more then the other. The second you get another puppy your heart will melt all over again!! |

| I never approached it like that when I got Gracie. I was looking and wanting for two reasons: 1 because I love the breed and wanted more action around the house; and 2 I knew that Lillie really wanted someone to play with - I would watch her play on her own and I would always play with her, but I think another dog brings so much joy to their world and helps them in many ways that we as parents cannot do. The best thing is when you see them loving each other. I got out of the shower this morning and there were both of them laying next to each other to keep each other warm and cleaning each others ears. That made me smile and even gave me more reasons that I made the right decision.

| I love all mine the same, but for different reasons. Like their personalities, and little things they do.

| i was worried about that when i was thinking about getting a sister for tumi too. but after i got Gracie, i fell in love with her right away..it is just toooo cute to see tumi and gracie playing around and being silly.. oh the best part is when we find them cuddling together and licking each other. it is the cutest. they bonded and they love each other now. it is the best thing i did for tumi. knowing that she has a sister to play with when we are not home makes me feel so much better. and i don't feel like Gracie is my stepchild at all..so go ahead and get the baby!! lol..you'll love him/her just the same!

| children Well... with each skinbaby I had I felt the same way. How could I ever love another one like this. W/ the boys, I though how could I love a boy as much as I love these girls.... each time I was wrong... sometimes I love my boys more...lol... they aren't so bitchy... Anyway.... I think it will be the same w/ furbabies... good luck! Take the plunge! |
