Awwww that’s adorable!!! Sure they would have loved the brown one once you brought it home haha but now you have twice the fun!!

Just make sure to try to separate them occasionally if possible so they don’t get too attached to each other. sure you know this already though haha

They’re seriously so adorable.

I’m actually not a dog expert. My only dog is my pound rescue from years ago.

They have different personalities. One is very active and playful. The other (brown) is very laid back and chill. We have a large yard for them and I noticed when they napped they just dropped wherever and usually not next to each other.

So them getting attached to each other is bad?

I have no idea what she's talking about either.

She can't possibly mean to separate the puppies from each other can she?
Or the kids and puppies?

Kdog explain real quick please.
I don't understand.

And I hear whining or puppy howls. They will actually be outside dogs but it’s supposed to storm this weekend so my husband wants them inside for now. We put them in the bathroom. He tells me how I care for my chickies is how he feels about puppies.

Maybe the kids from the puppies?? But I thought the point is to get attached
I’m confused.
Oh yeah I love honey buns. I just didn’t know the song said bunch instead of bun

Sorry, probably should have clarified.

It’s not really bad, per se, and it’s definitely good for them to have a friend (I don’t think I’d ever have just one dog at once again after seeing how bonded my brothers dogs are) but it’s just sometimes when you get them at the same time they can bond super intensely with each other and less with you which can make it harder to train them or they can get super anxious when separated, etc.

Obviously not every time of course and it’s not really an issue or problem usually so I’m sure your puppies will be fine but you just basically want to try to get them used to being by themselves sometimes and learn it’s okay without freaking out. Easier while young. Not separate all the time of course but just the occasional separate training session or walk or whatever if possible just so they bond with both you and each other.
