yeah I could see getting two for company - one friend is doing that right now with their Husky. We have no plans for pets any time soon though. At least not until kids are old enough to play with them. Growing up with our farm dogs always having people around/another dog buddy/ability to run around outside doesn't have me jumping to get a dog to leave home alone all day. Especially since I like more energetic/friendly dogs.DH isn't a big dog person though so it may not ever happen.
I don't know how someone could marry/love/trust someone that's not a dog person.
