The problem with owning more than one dog is the pack instinct. For years, we had a couple or three dogs, it was a nightmare whenever the doorbell rang and when I walked them the fuckers tugged so hard on their leads trying to get in front of each other I nearly dislocated my fucking shoulders. We just have the one saluki lurcher now, no noise, no hassle, no worries off the lead, great company, all the upsides of owning a dog without the fuss of multiple ones. And she's great in bed.
