    I'd say it's time to stop when:

    1) you no longer have proper room for the dogs to play or be separated when necessary

    2) you don't have the time to properly play with them, excersize them, groom them or pick up the poop in the yard

    3) you can't afford the routine annual vet visits and medications they need plus a bit extra for emergencies

    If you've got all of those things covered then you probably don't need to worry.

    Lucky! I too wish I had the room, the money and the time for so many dogs. 'm going to the humane society this morning, but I'm only taking my little brother so he can look at them all. Can't wait to see pics of your new guys.

    It's also a good idea to have a financial cushion in case of a medical emergency.

    If you are living paycheck to paycheck because of how many pets you have, then it is time to start adopting some of them out.

    You won't be doing any of them any good if you over extend your finances or physical abilities.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    You adopted more dogs?
    Wow.
