One dog, Two Dogs, Three Dogs?

Our puppy, Butter loves having a playmate, but we can't have two dogs while we have an older cat in the household, too. There is also the challenge of airplane travel, because Butter goes under the seat in a travel carrier and two would be very difficult to manage. Most airlines only allow two dogs in the entire cabin. Our solution is play dates with the other Havanese puppy that lives across the road. They wear each other out at least every other day. Plus, if someone escapes their fence, we both know that the dog is at the front door of their pal.
I agree about dogs being comparable in size, especially if you're an angel who has given a home to a rescue dog. A South Walton friend of ours, and fellow dog lover, rescued a Yorkie and was keeping him along with two very large wolf hounds (also rescue). Everyone got along fine until one night she set the Yorkie on the bed, startling one of the wolf hounds. It snapped at the Yorkie and severed its spine instantly. At least it was a quick death, but she felt awful about it. Not her fault, but the little dog hadn't a chance.

We have 2 dogs and most of the time it is really good. Pitfalls for us....traveling by myself.. Hard to get to dogs to potty. The older was jealous for a while, but that was because I did not let them meet on neutral ground...just brought the pup home. IT would have been easier if they treeted each other on neutral territory as the older, Maggie, stayed in her house for a month. Good stuff.. the older trains the younger one which in our case was nice. Maggie is very calm and gentle unlike Sophie who is perpetual energy. Vet bills are a little more...well double. Mine have to be groomed so that is another expense. The best is there is a dog for each of us at home...no jealousy. You will do great....send photos
