DDog is a year and a half old. She is a jack Russell x chihuahua (more chi than jack, she's tiny) and she's an absolute delight. I'm a SAHM so she's with me pretty much all day.
Over the last few weeks I've been increasingly dog broody. I'd like a larger dog as a second dog, I think. It would be company for DDog when I do leave her (she's a terrible yapper) and I think it would make walks more fun for both of us.
I know nothing about having two dogs. Would it be better for DDog to get a puppy or an adult dog as company? Would they sleep in the same bed/area? What about food? DDog has dry food and grazes throughout the day, how would I stop dog2 from eating her food?
I'm not at all sure it's even going to happen, but what's it like having two dogs rather than one? Is it easier or harder and are there any pitfalls I might not have thought of yet?
