| For those with more than one When you leave the house do you leave them out together? If you use a crate or playpen do you put them together? Does it seem to mater if it is two girls or a girl and a boy? I am thinking of getting Lily a friend and want to know if they would be fine alone together for extended lengths of time. Probably a play pen situation I do not let Lily roam the house when I am gone because of her big brother. Of course this would be once the pup was older. I am so worried I am going to make the wrong decision to get a new puppy or to let Lily be the only child for 1 more year.

Luv my 7 Furkids Donating Member | I have 7, and have the luxury of taking one to work each day. I usually take the youngest every day until one year then I take turns. Right now, Gidget goes to work with me, Toby Tyler and Shilo are pinned in the kitchen, and the others have free roam of the house and out the dog door into garage to use pee pads. (I dont let anyone out in the yard unless Im with them. I have to keep Toby and Dakota separated because they get into it sometimes. (much better now that everyone is fixed) but I dont want to take any chances. Shilo and Toby are just a few days apart and have grown up together so they are like twins, they do everything together. |

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | I have 2 babies Peeka my boy and Daisy my girl. When i leave i put Daisy in a paly pen and Peeka in his kennel. I do it for saftey because you never know what they can get into when no one is around. I never leave them out alone when i am not there. Not so much as afraid to leave them together just afraid they may get into something they are not supposed to I love having 2 of them they love eachother and play. It's so much fun and i feel they have eachother now so they are not lonley

| I leave mine with free roam of the house along with my Chi Mix, Tinker... I never leave bedroom doors open... They are very good about using the pads if they cannot wait til someone gets home... My oldest daughter is in college so she has rotating hours, they are usually never alone more than 4 or 5 hours... when they were babies, I kept the all together, gated in the kitchen.... good luck with a new baby! d

| Deiter gets to stay out. Cozmo gets put in his x-pen. You can't trust him, he will poo where ever when ever, and if you are not watching he will just leave a trail of it for you. Dieter is very good out, unless he can see or get to YY then he will try and get them, lol He got caught. with the bag in his mouth. But that was my fault, I move the boys (pet) couch in front of the file cabinet and forgot to move it back. Bad Mommy. lol

| I leave Gracie free and Sugar and Spike (both boys) get babygated in the study. Spike has accidents sometimes when he's alone and Sugar gets throw rugs confused with his potty pad. Gracie is the my good girl so she gets freedom.

| I have 3 and used to leave them all together in an x-pen until Hoku went into heat and drove the boys bonkers. Now they each have their own crate

| I have 2 boys and they are both gated into my kitchen together. I do not yet trust them in the house alone... but they do well together. I could not imagine seperating them! Actually they dont want to be seperated, they walk side by side on leashes, they want to both be held by the same person, they look for each other when they roam too far and come right back together... its very cute! I couldn't seperate them!

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Magic and Sailor have free run of the living room and kitchen and are fine together...the only time I separate them is if they get into one morning or something. They have stayed out together since we got them. Captain has his own XPen that he stay in b/c he will mark during the day if out and Heaven has her own XPent that she stays in b/c she will potty in the house as well. This works great for us and gives everyone time to be alone and rest. It also makes it so I don't have to worry about what they are doing while I am at work. Sometimes I come home to messes, but I just clean it up and move on...they can't always hold it!!

I love Jackson too! Donating Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Ohio

| I have two, and they both have free run. However, when Jackson was still a pup, we didn't leave the two alone together until he was older. Fortunately, mine aren't left alone that much.

MY 3...COMPLETE ME! Donating Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: California

| I have two girls. Molly is almost 6 mos. and Lexie is 16 mos. When no one is home, they are closed in my room, which is really their room now. My room is on the second floor, but it has a balcony, which is enclosed. So they have a doggie door leading to the balcony where their potty pads are. So half the balcony is the potty area and the other half, they use for sunbathing (hehehe). I love having the two. I wanted to get another, but I think it would be too difficult when we travel (shucks). Good luck.
