We had always entertained the idea of getting another small dog, for the sake of Dot, so that she will have some companionship while we're at work. This weekend, we decided to take my brother's dog for a while and see how things go. It's only been one day... but we have already decided that one dog is enough for us. In one day, we experienced double the trouble, double the whining, double the poo... double the trouble! No thank you...
At first glance, these two (small) dogs seem quite innocent, right? (Note: this picture was taken when I got home, after cleaning up a piece of poo, pee stains around a certain area and a chewed up candy wrapper... I'm sure they were both beat)
We had thought about getting another dog so Dot can be more social and have a playmate... but after capturing this on camera (and other roughhousing on video), I don't know if we can handle two dogs anymore.
In the end, we both decided that our home and our sanity can only tolerate one little creature. You win, Dot! You don't have to share your parents and your bed and your toys with anyone anymore, just please be more social and act more like a dog instead of a scaredy cat!
