OK, 2 dog owners....like I don't have enough going on in my life...

We are thinking of getting a 2nd dog, a small dog this time. Are we nuts? We have Casey and the 2 lard a$$ cats The cats are pretty independent, I just refill the food and water and change the littler.

If you have 2 dogs, esp a small and a large one, what has your experience been?

I always tell people to just keep in mind the costs of an additional animal: yearly vaccines (well, when they are puppies they get a series within several months), annual check ups, flee/heartworm prevention (sentinel).

Don't get me wrong, I love animals, I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 iguana, 1 canary, 1 African Grey Parrot, 8 gouldian finches, and 2 owl finches.

I don't think you are crazy for wanting another dog, but remember, it's also starting over with training a puppy...if you are ok with all the above, then go for it, and be sure to post pics!

I think I may adopt an older dog this time

So far the only issue I have encountered is sharing. My two are like kids. They fight over toys, food, attention. It's kind of funny.

I want another dog but DH doesn't.

So do I, but Brownie is still a puppy in most definitions of the word, so maybe when she gets older, and she's also terrified of other dogs, so not so sure how that is going to work out....
