Two Dogs or Twenty?
Here I am, trying to gather my thoughts in a house full of Spinoni, which is always a mistake. And while I know that two is not really a house full but a mere drop in the Spinone bucket, it sure doesn't feel like it some days.
I remember quite clearly a time, not so long ago, when I thought that another one would be good company for the first and such a pleasure to have around the house, sort of like the doublemint twins. Now that I have the pair of them, I can see why people end up with three, then four, then five—two are not much different than a baker's dozen. Really, once you stretch that special bond with your first one to share the love with another, it's just a big party from then on; you'll find yourself thinking "oh well, the more the merrier." If it's all dogs all the time anyhow, why not?
A slippery slope, I fear.
