I don't necessarily think thats true Darcy... I know so many "dog owners" that just have one...and he/she gets stuck out in the backyard with not much thought or interaction! I also know myself and many like me that have multiple dogs. They get the best of everything including our time and love. I spend every minute of everyday and night with my pack...where I go they go except places they can't. They get the best food, the best toys, the best treats. Everyone works with me daily with their training. Everyone gets groomed weekly, brushed/combed daily. They all have their own beds all over my house, their own special blankets and their own wardrobes. I am excessive but there are MANY like me and it wouldn't matter how many they had...they would be cared for and loved on the same level. What makes each one of us know our limits is when we know ourselves well enough to know what we are capable of and what we enjoy doing. If you don't like bathing, grooming, picking up poop, training, walking, playing, cooking, washing, sweeping, rocking, petting, loving...then you shouldn't have even one dog! JMO!!Hugs In Him, Deanna
