Beaglelover,
I bought my two Jack Russell Terriers at the same time. (1 male, 1 female) They were the same age (3 days apart) but from different litters. I was living alone at the time in a town where I had no family or friends (had just moved there for work) and I honestly found it very difficult.
My advice to you is while they may be good company for each other, the trouble that they can get into while left only does not only increase by twofold but much worse. Instead of having one naughty puppy mind to think up naughty things to do there are two and of course two naughty puppies to do two times the damage!!!
So make sure that you invest in a good crate or leave them in a very puppy secure place while you are out. Also I find that while my two generally do get along very well, they do benefit from some time alone as I find they do get a little snappy if they are together all the time.
Needless to say, I stuck out and they are now nearly 2 years old and I couldnt be without them.
Good luck!!!
