We have had our Golden Retriever, Chester, for about a year. Joseph's parents own Chester's sister, Ginger. They live on 10 acres with no fences and Ginger wound up pregnant. She had 7 puppies.
We happened to be over there visiting and Joseph fell in love with two of the puppies. I thought that it would be fun to bring one home so that Chester had another dog to run around with. I kept asking Joseph if he had picked out the puppy that he wanted to bring home and he would just hold up two fingers because he wanted to bring two home.
I finally caved and we brought home two puppies - Turk and Duke. It was only on a TRIAL basis. They were adorable and we loved having them. A few days after we brought them home, Joseph had to leave for 8 days with the Marine Corps. It was so much work trying to house train two puppies, watch the girls, clean the house, etc., etc. Then, I had some health issues and that was the last straw! The puppies went back to Joseph's parents and they were able to find them alternative homes. I was kinda sad with the puppies leaving but in the long run, I can't handle that many dogs!

P.S. Chester LOVED the puppies and they loved him. I think the hardest part about giving the puppies back was separating them from Chester!
