Can i have two puppies?

Question
oh good..now if i am going to be having both the puppies how do you suggest i go about their feeding schedule?do i feed them both together at the same time?or do i feed one puppy before the other?Also where do i place their feeding bowls?And how about their toys?My friends dog has his own set of toys and so does mine...so do i keep them seperated or is it ok if they play with each others toys?And what if one of the dogs runs away with the other's toys?what do i do incase such a situation arises?How do i handle both the dogs so neither of them feels jealous?

hi...i have a two and a half month old male labrador puppy.My friend also has a male labrador puppy but he's about five months old.He has to go out of town for about a month or so and wants to leave his puppy with me.I just wanted to know if it is ok to have both the pupies with me for a period of about a month.I am sure i would be able to handle them both but is it possible that my puppy learns bad habits from his since i have already trained my puppy but his isn't competely trained.He can understand only basic sit command and the call for food.Also my vet says that my puppy is an alpha male and his is also a pretty dominant puppy..so ould it lead to a clash of sorts?or would it be possible to socialise them amicably?
someone pls help me on this one...they're both really sweet puppies.And i wouldn't have any problem handling them both.All i want is that there should be no fights between the two of them and i DO NOT want any kind of a mental scarring with either of the pups.
thnks a lot in advance.

I think it should work.  I have never had anybody's puppy for a month, but routinely have them for anything from a few hours to as long as 2 weeks.  I only remember one bad incident.  It is tough sorting out what is going on at times.  Here is a link to a picture of a friend's Lab and my Shepherd, http://www.photolocker.net/images/Labman/gretchenandellaplaying.jpg  She spent a week here, and the 2 of them had a great time.  If you have had the puppies together before, I am sure they they went at each other the same way.  Usually if you see blood at your puppies' ages, you look to see if the other one has lost a tooth.  

Two dominate males could be a problem.  When you want to jump in and quiet things down, is if you see quick, sharp snaps, low growls, and usually the smaller retreating.  I would keep a close eye on things at first, letting them go, as long as it seems all in fun.  

Are you using a crate?  It would be better not to leave them alone together at night.  It is only natural that a puppy resists its crate at first.  What the puppy wants more than anything else is to be others, you, anyone else in the
household, and any other pets.  In our modern society, even if we are home,
other things distract us from the attention an uncrated puppy must have.   The
only real solution is to crate the dog when you aren't around.  The dog may be
happier in its den than loose in the house.  It relaxes, it feels safe in its
den.  It rests, the body slows down reducing the need for water and relieving
its self.  Dogs that have been crated all along do very well.  Many of them
will rest in their crates even when the door is open.  I think the plastic
ones give the dog more of a safe, enclosed den feeling.  Metal ones can be put
in a corner or covered with something the dog can't pull in and chew.  Select
a crate just big enough for the full grown dog to stretch out in.

Leave it some toys.  Perhaps a Kong filled with peanut butter.  Don't leave
anything in the crate the dog might chew up.  It will do fine without even any
bedding.  You will come home to a safe dog and a house you can enjoy.

A dog that has not been crated since it was little, may take some work.
Start out just putting its toys and treats in the crate.  Praise it for going
in.  Feed it in the crate.  This is also an easy way to maintain order at
feeding time for more than one dog.

If you haven't had them together, try it for a few hours before hand and see how it goes.  Meeting on neutral ground can't hurt, and many recommend it.  I have always said, A Lab's favorite chew toy is another Lab.  If they are just playing, the smaller one should have the bigger one down on his back part of the time.  

Answer
Your puppy needs to continue 3 meals a day until it is 4 months old.  The other should be on 2 meals a day until 6 months.  As I said in my other answer, feeding them in their crates makes things easier.  Add the food to a dish.  command the dog to go in the crate.  Quickly set the dish in the crate and close the door.  Then do the same with the next dog.  Dogs used to being fed in a crate will quickly jump in the first one available.  My technique is I come down in the morning, and let Aster and Nita loose.  I then go in the bathroom where the food and dishes are.  I make both dogs sit.  Breaking sit means I discontinue working on the food until they sit again.  I scoop out Nita's food and set the dish on the counter.  I scoop Aster's food out and set it down, giving the command ''Free dog''.  I then set Nita's food down and give her the command ''Free dog''.  I will not put the food down until the dog is sitting.  I do use my free hand to hold the dog back a little sometimes.  I then stand between them while they devour their food.  You must be very insistent about sitting if you want your food.  

While Nita was still young enough to have more meals, I sit stayed both dogs.  Once I set Nita's dish down, I then scooped up a handful of kibble and tossed pieces of it to Aster while Nita ate.  Sort of the same procedure over Christmas when we had a Lab/Golden cross, a Shepherd, and a terrier mix too.  The terrier is not as ready eater as the Labs.  He is shut in his crate with his food.  

As for the toys, it might be just as well to limit the visitor to only bringing a couple of favorites along.  As I said, a Lab's favorite chew toy is another Lab.  Next comes whatever another dog has.  Count on them both wanting the same toy.  Sometimes an older dog will walk around with a toy in its mouth dragging the younger one along firmly clamped to it.  It may be the older one's way of escaping the sharp little teeth.  I am not sure dogs understand owning things.  ''Possession is 9 points of the law.''
