You tie in between them so the weight is distributed and they police each other (mine are tattle tails cause they are brothers). And 2 18 pound cats can pretty much handle a 5th if it's done right... Plenty for you and a topple for them if they are good... That’s why you need a pair of cats, Rain!

They overbalance and besides, they'd just drink it all behind your back. You cannot tie a decent-sized brandy flask around a cat’s neck.

A friend of mine has two Irish Wolfhounds. 125 lbs. EACH. Beautiful dogs, but it's like having two extra people living with you. My late, sorely missed Lhasa mix was about 20 lbs. at his fighting weight. He was small enough that he could be carried if needed, but he wasn't so small that he looked like an hors d'oeuvre to larger dogs or other wildlife. Exactly.

Dachshund or beagle is as small as I can deal with. They can live a good long life too (around 20 years). Really large dogs usually only make it 8 to 10 years. And you don't need a backhoe to clean up droppings for moderate size pups! Or, just go low maintenance and get a couple of cats! Mine play catch, give kisses, and are very loving and social...

I'd prefer another Scot (although I have to hand chows the win on the puppy cuteness scale - their pups are just balls of fuzz with tongues and noses), but I said we can get a pound puppy as long as it doesn't exceed 50 lbs.full-grown. His lovely chow mix got sick and died about a year ago, and at her heaviest, she was 62 lbs. (she was retaining fluids). She had arthritis and a back problem and couldn't manage stairs, but I couldn't lift her up and down the stairs without hurting her, which just broke my heart, especially because she was so patient and uncomplaining about it. Ugh. So I guess I'm saying small dogs have their advantages, but I like the small ones who have no idea how small they are.

My purse is a mess as it is, without adding the possibility of doggie tinkle (or worse) to the mix. As far as dog size is concerned, to my mind, anything between 15lbs and 40lbs is about right -- not so big that you can't carry it if it's hurt, but not so little that you might lose it amongst the couch cushions (with possibly tragic consequences.)

A big dog can become a victim of wildlife, too, no matter what their owner's projected machismo says to the contrary. Mischa Barton's dog is the only one I know, in the center. That dog is cute, and it seems like it's really mellow because all the pictures look like he's laying like a little lump on her arm. I, OTOH, love purse dogs.
