I kinda went about the whole thing in a "dumb" way. We weren't planning to have more than one dog at a time when we adopted Tamlyn. Puppy cravings did me in last August, almost 8 years later. I went to the shelter and found Cissy, fell in love, and brought her cute little bootie home.
Sometimes I do regret it when she has an accident or is behaving like a little brat. Later that day, they'll be splayed out on the living room floor butt to butt and I realize I wouldn't want it any other way.
Sure, it's more work, more money, more food, more time, and sometimes even more headache. Once you get past all that triviality, you see the many good times they have together. You can sense the bond between them and how, even though they seem to hate each other at times, they'll "have each others back" if they need it. And that to me is worth more than any of the money, time, food or headache.
heh....sorry for the ramble-post.....
