Can we really do this?

Although it's only been in the back of my mind for the past two weeks, last night we talked about the idea of raising two puppies again.

Before reading about the hardships of raising litter mates, I was already put off and a bit uncomfortable with the idea, just from sheer time and space. But after learning about the other behavioral and emotional problems that are seemingly inevitable, I really can't stop fearing the future. I love dogs, and I'm in love with both of my puppies, but I don't want it to ruin my life, which is why I wasn't actively looking to get a puppy to begin with.

Anyway, we talked about what we'd have to do, such as walking, feeding, playing, etc separately. We talked a bit about trying to find a nice home to send one of the puppies (I decided if it came down to it, I'd want to keep Kovy), but the bottom line is that there are already a LOT of puppies that are trying to find homes for. 

It really seems like there's no hope for Muji to find a new home, which led the conversation back to "Ok, well, I guess if we have to raise them both, we will."

So actually the question isn't "Can we really do this?" but rather "We are going to do this." 

It's possible, but with more stress than I've been used to in awhile.
