Serious Question About Adding a Doodle

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

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

I want to get a another doodle (praticularly a mini one). My mom says we can get another one when Huff gets to be six years old. We want to get another doodle because Huff has been lazy lately.

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

That's one of the reasons we're getting another one, too.  :)

You won't regret it and Penny will have no problem getting used to her new sister.  I can't wait to read your updates because I really think you will see a renewed doodle in Penny!

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

Thanks, Allyson!  I think having DH see the photos of Peri and Taquito together really pushed him over into the YES category.  :)
