Does our Dog need a friend????

So...are two dogs better than one?? Brian and I have been discussing the possibility of acquiring a friend for Moses. We just both feel kinda bad because he is outside by himself a lot. While this is better than being cooped up in a kennel, I still feel bad sometimes leaving him all alone to play by himself. The thing is, he's really not that sociable with other dogs. He actually prefers cats. Weirdo! I even went and looked at the Animal Shelter after work today b/c I saw a really cute puppy online at PETFINDER but he had already been adopted. I just don't know if I can see us with two dogs. One dog is a whole lot of work, well it was a whole lot of work until recently. Now that he is potty trained, dew claw free, neutered, and staying outside while we are gone, it has been a breeze. He must wear himself out pretty good b/c all he does is sleep when we let him in now. Not to mention the fact that he sleeps all night in his bed and I have to carry him outside in the mornings b/c he's too lazy to get up and go outside. So, maybe he is playing enough by himself then?? Any thoughts??

Also, my sister and her fiancee', Doug's honeymoon plans have fell through, any body know of any good honeymooning places in Florida??? A picture of the happy couple:

As an owner of two dogs, I say stick with one. they are fun, but when you try and go out of town and need someone to watch them, it is a lot harder. and everything cost at least twice as much, twice as much food, twice as much vet bills, meds, destruction, trash cans on heads etc.

I would stick with one dog and take him to obedience school. That is a good place to get a dog socialized. the only way to do it is to have him around a lot of dogs a lot of times. Having two dogs will only make them social around each other not really with other dogs. You really have to work with this most people myself included have not done a good enough job of this.

as a dog hater i say just have one. HA
we just had a blast in destin. so i'd recommend that.

i think you should have a human child. then it can grow up and keep mo company.
