I have a 3.5 year old Sheltie and a year old Golden Retriever.

I am single & live in my own home.

They are dogs yes, but I totally treat them like my children. I live perfectly well with two dogs & can care for them easily.

I work a few times a week & if I had one dog, I feel they'd be so lonely, so it's nice to have another dog there for their emotional state while being left alone for a few hours at a time.
