About the two dogs, Arda's post is right on - as always. No surprise there. She has more experience than all of us put together ;)

My first dobie girl and I were as one, also. She was the greatest dog I think I've ever had. It was as if I only had to "think" it, and she was doing it. Of course, back then my son was small and I was home, so I had a lot more time to devote to Greta.

The two I have now, they are wonderful beyond belief. But Arda is right: They bond with each other, rather than you. Don't get me wrong. They think the sun rises and sets with me, and they love me, but they also have each other. They listen very well, and for two "strays" they are extremely well-behaved. But, you don't have the opportunity to bond as much with two, as you would having only one dog.

Also, these two came home with me together, on the same day, so there was no heirarchy to speak of. We created one as we went along - with ME AT THE TOP!! It's not any harder to take care of two, as opposed to one, but there are "issues" that have to be dealt with along the way that otherwise would not exist.

I'll look forward to your future updates!

Ok, just to fix something...
I didn't mean, "SHARE" my love for Brody, I meant, expanding to include another dog at this moment. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>


Of course share is the right word! You don't love the first one less when the second one comes home! ;) "Love halved is doubled"

Yeah, you're right, I would love the dogs equally, spread the love, and enjoy every minute of it....God knows I'd have a pack of them running around if I could do it..just not right now. Brody and I still have some work to do.. He DOES have character, that's for sure!! ;)
