We have a gorgeous 2 year old boy who we have had since he was 12 weeks. He is a small little soul, but with enough character and cheekiness to fill a house happily! We both work full time, and I often feel awful about leaving our boy as I leave for work each day. He seems happy, he gets out each day (although we can't have a cat flap in our house as it's military housing, so he doesn't have access all the time), and is very affectionate.
But, we would love to add another pet to the mix. Ideally, we would like 2 cats and a dog but that seems a bit mad. We are trying to decide what would be the best bet for our boy if we go for only one.
We are about to move, and I will be working part time when we move, so will be home more, hence why we can consider getting a dog. We are also ttc no1 so if timing works, we won't end up doing this all at once.
But I guess, presuming we get a dog or another cat in the next year. Any idea if it's a better bet to go for another cat or get a dog? DH is adamant the dog would have to be a golden retriever. I don't know if that's the best idea!
I guess I'm looking for anyone who has experience adding another pet to the mix. Any advice?

Is 'company' in the form of a puppy or kitten a bad idea for our 2 yo cat?
