It sounds like a great idea to me. Also the above article stressed that it is up to each person to assess the situation with regard to the pack. That said, when my dog Zoey passed from kidney failure in June 2021 and Augie was left by himself, my husband and I were heartbroken and I felt that Augie was going to die, that he needed companionship. And I was right because I found a dog online who was brought to us by a wonderful friend who knew we would be unable to pick her up as the rescue was in the next state (neither of us could drive due to disabilities). This was the best thing that we ever did, because even though we were mourning Zoey, Coco revved up the whole house again, taking on the role of Augie’s wife. Laugh, go ahead, but he would barely eat a thing until Coco showed up. He overcame a serious illness before Thanksgiving 2020 and I am sure it is due to her presence, perhaps it’s even reincarnation. But the point I make here contrary to the story of getting another dog being not such a good idea for a single dog, is that it is a great idea because dogs are pack animals and love company. I say the more the merrier! They will play together or at least provide companionship that they wouldn’t have if you were off to work or out period.

I recently heard on a morning show that three kids is triangulation and it does not work well. That four is smoother. I have a 5yr old rescue and two 2 yr olds I acquired due to foster fail during Covid. Should I look for a small 5 yr old dog to round out the pack. I have two boys and a girl. The 5 yr old is a boy.
