Not at the empty nest synderom yet, but I have always found plenty of reasons why it is better to have more than one lol...... It is soooo good for them, not having to be alone (I am an stay at home mom) so with one more they have company. Many many years ago, when I went from one to two, I said "well whats the difference I have to be here anyway" so then we had two, then I said " oh well if you have two you can just aswell have three" and three we had, then I said....... okay you get it lol..... So more or less my whole life I have had more than one dog, we have 4 now and if it was up to me we could easily have a couple more, but hubby thinks 4 is much.
