Diddy is one year old and I have been wanting to get him a sister. I have the opportunity to get a Maltese puppy so we had her meet Diddy today. He was a little scared of her. She just wanted to play and he just kept sniffing at her cautiously and backed away. He was also drooling like crazy. Was this because he was scared? I don't want to bring another dog into our household if it isn't best for Diddy. He didn't bark or growl at her. He seemed really curious about her, just unsure.

How do I know what's best for Diddy? How could I get him to be ok around her? I am so torn about what to do. Hopefully someone here can give me some suggestions.
