(Also consider rescuing a companion for your Golden. The antics of multiple dogs will bring you cheer, and they will keep each other company while you are out being of service).

Plus the future other dog’s vote, which makes three.

But that’s from a guy that has four dogs and four cats (and a wife).

We didn’t mean to start hoarding animals. Just happened. Started with two greyhounds. Then one cat. Then a friend for the cat. Then a friend for the friend. Then my mom’s cat. Then the chiuaua we found hit by a car on Coast Hwy. Then the poodle mix zig-zagging in the middle the street on a Saturday night.

Strays gravitate towards us. I live in Long Beach, CA. I think 3 dogs and 3 cats is the max allowable. Blew right thru that. But they bring us a lot of joy.
