Thanks. I try very hard to be a responsible dog owner.
I only have 3 small dogs now (all under 14, 20 and 23lbs about) because I realize as I age (I'm 39) and considering that a dog might live 15 years, I don't want to deal with a geriatric 60 lb dog at 50 years old. I've dealt with immobile dogs,t with a 40-50lb greyhound (twice) and a 18lb terrier mix and it's a world of a difference.
> adding another dog doesn’t “tire the other out”
No, it doesn't, but they definitely do provide each other companionship for each other especially when you're not there.
> Two dogs is >2x the work of one
Personally, 2 dogs was about 2.5x the work but adding the 3rd dog only brought things up to an even 3x the work.
