Second pup regrets? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

No regrets here on adding a second, and even adding 2 more after that.

I am home most of the time, and don't take them with me much when I go out, except to my daughter's overnight, then they all go with me. They all get along so well and play nicely, I don't feel bad leaving them home when I have errands.

Everybody's lifestyle is somewhat different, and you are wise to ask others, as everybody has a slightly different perspective. Many good points have been brought up. For me, it is just more LOVE to give and receive.

I do understand your concerns. However, I have never had any regrets. You will adjust. It's just a little more work. I have four babies and I had to make a few adjustments when I take them places. I had to get a bigger car seat that would hold all four of them for one and I cannot live without my stroller, that's for sure. The stroller makes it so much easier when you have to take them places like the vet or the groomer.

thanks everyone so much for all the thoughtful responses. i am away working through the day, i make it home for lunch hours but shes in her ex-pen for 3 hours before and after lunch. i really appreciate the advice regarding them being lonely, and that they keep each other company. i want to make sure that the decision i make is for Billie as well as for me...I want to make the best decision for us both!

This thread really hits home! My husband and I are considering getting a baby sister for Isabel who will be 8 years old this July. Isabel is our "only child" and has been for all her life. It's a tough decision to make, but then I keep thinking that a younger sister just might help keep our Isabel feeling young. Thanks for asking this question and know that there are others out here that have the same feelings as you!
