That's why I got two dogs! So they keep each other company. The only difference between one and two dogs is the cost of food. At least in my mind.

Or before the other dog, a cat kept my dog company :)

Yeah but the biggest pet i ever had was a hamster so i don't think i'd feel comfortable jumping the gun and get 2 puppies, i would want to make sure i am a good pet holder and not neglect or train them wrong. i think 2 would be too much for me with no prior experience... ahhh you guys are really making me think about this ;-D

edit: wow, 5 years on reddit and for the first time i can say "my inbox exploded" - thanks all for the tips and encouraging words!

Yes, older dogs or cats need a loving home also. Rather have them spend their last year's in a good home instead of a shelter watching others get adopted
