I agree Deanna. I'm only 32, but I know exactly where my kids would go if something happened to me. I don't feel any differently about them than I would human kids who would obviously need a place to go upon my absence. I think it's important to always think about what you would do if the worst were to happen, but otherwise enjoy life to the fullest. If another Chi makes sense in her life with all things considered.......fabulous!

To the dog you are still dead and gone. Dead and gone is still dead and gone no matter your age or situation. Provide after care for any animal you own iregaurdless of your age...provide the best care possible for every animal you own while you have them whether it's 1or 30. Know your own limits whatever they may be and make good decisions for yourself...not for others. There is no way anyone on this list or any other can make a blanket judgement call on what number is too many for someone. Make that call for yourself. And I promise...with all my heart...that I won't judge you for having just one LOL!

When you are 90 you know for sure your pup will propably outlive you. So you need to take steps to get your dog safe after your death. Not everyone has that chance. When you are younger you often die unexpectetly that is in my eyes quite a difference. --- On Thu, 7/22/10, ruff...@prtcnet. org <ruff...@prtcnet. org> wrote: >From: ruff...@prtcnet. org <ruff...@prtcnet. org> >Subject: Re: {Disarmed} Re: [Chihuahuas] How many dogs is too many >To: chihuah...@yahoogro ups.com >Date: Thursday, July 22, 2010, 11:31 PM > > > >exactly...none of us have a promise of tomorrow.
