We have one dog with us right now. We have a very small place and couldn't handle having any more right now. I have another dog that lives with my mom right now. Once we get our house, we will pick up the other one and have 2 living in one house! We have talked about getting a third later one, after the first two have had time to get to know each other and a new place. I would love to have 3 big dogs... one day.
