I would think long and hard about the financial and care obligations you're going to put out. Had you planned to get an adult dog or a puppy? Buy from a breeder or adopt from a rescue? What kind of veterinary/food/care costs would be there for two dogs, etc. and so forth. Obviously, there's a lot to sit down and hash out/ask yourself and that'll take quite a bit of time.

I have thought about the financial situation. I could handle the added expense now, and I'm moving forward in my job, which = more money. So that is not really my concern. I'm really interested in the dynamics in multi-dog homes.

My ideas for the future involve an adult rescue dog. I volunteer for a pit rescue and I see how the puppies have such an easier time being placed than the older dogs. I also think that an adult dog would be better with my work schedule.

I'm looking forward to hearing some more personal accounts with both multi-dog and single dog homes. How and when did you guys decide it was time to add another dog to your home? -or- Are you and your dog happy with the single dog home?
