Love this video! I have one golden and since I'm working from home forever, I really have been considering getting another as my dog seems to like companionship with other dogs. But I do wonder what the dynamic of having another dog around 24/7 would be like. Especially a puppy.
Thank you! That’s so nice that you’re going to be working from home, I’m sure your pup loves that! It’s great for them to always have a friend, I love it!
I’m not really sure how I feel about it to be honest, I don’t know as if I would ever do if just because you have to be very careful about how you go about it or you can cause more harm than good.
@@RachelGreene that's why you should only raw feed with a vet nutritionist's approval and recipe! i've seen too many DIY raw feeds go wrong and end up with nutritionally deficient dogs or dogs with health issues. there's also prepackaged raw but it's very expensive and usually not much better than kibble. i'm hoping to raw feed Ruthie once she is old enough (puppies need VERY nutritionally balanced meals) and we will def go in for a Nutritionist consult. they run loads to tests to see what combo works for your dog to ensure they're getting their best. but as you said too many people cause more harm than good unfortunately :(
the issue of barking, my twins would sympathy cry if the other cried. One of the stressful things of having twins…😂. i recently adopted a second dog, but within hours heavily questioned my decision. I discovered her actual breed, she was going to have a tendency to bark alot and be very jumpy if nit exercised enough. I already have a border collie/GSP….a high exercise level dog…but she’s not a barker or a jumper….but we get her at least one long walk and i take hervto a field for serious fetch play, it exhausts her…i did start to question how i was going to manage that once dog #2 got older. so i returned the dog, only had her from Friday afternoon to early Sunday morning. Wanted to get her back so she would be available for adoption, she was adopted by Tuesday. I learned I need to think more about the pro’s and con’s…and maybe the right decision is 1 dog. I was wanting another to help wear my dog out, plus I love dogs….but the second dog needs to be thought of as your bew #1 and not jjst #2. They both deserve to be #1.
was the second dog a puppy (age)? I recently got a maltese puppy, its been almost 2 weeks now, but the work is real, now I am questioning my own judgement of adopting him, and at the same time I feel sad when he looks lonely during the day and wondering if it was better for him to get new friend, what do you think?
At this point in time, yes, I think they would be fine but if I wasn’t able to come home for lunch anymore we would just transition them into getting used to eating only twice a day instead of three times!

How do u feel about raw feeding? Do you think you would ever try it? I know it's a big trend these days but I can't seem to get on board!

Also if you couldn't make it home for lunch during the day do you think your girls would be okay for the full work day? Or would you hire a dog walker
