Serious Question About Adding a Doodle

You all are the experts here, and many of you have become good Doodle friends.

Penny the WonderDog will turn six in a couple of weeks (yikes!). She's the joy of our lives. We both work from home and she's been around one of us almost constantly since Day One.

I have often wondered in the past whether it would be good to add another doodle to the family, so that she has a companion. Now, a doodle puppy has caught our attention (and a little bit of our hearts) and we've been talking about adopting her.

We go back and forth between giving Penny a doodle buddy, and worrying that it might change the wonderful dynamic that we have with Penny now. Would we just be setting ourselves up for trouble by adding another dog? We're not worried about the training, as we're both home all the time. It's the "relationship" stuff that we're thinking about.

If you've added a doodle (especially a PUPPY), how has it worked for you? Problems? Challenges? Are we just out of our minds for thinking of doing this?

I'll attach a picture of Penny (love that she is) and the puppy.

Love you guys,

Michele
