I think she was saying they are 3 1/2 hours away from the dog. So was probably wanting some advice before making the long trip to go see the dog.
We have no problem with jealousy with our 3. However Boo does get a little miffed when one of the others tries to horn in on his Daddy time. But they all have such great personalities that we haven't had any fighting issues. DH just tries to be sure to give Boo some quality 1-on-1 time so that he knows he's still Daddy's #1 boy.
How is Lulu's personality? Is she aggressive, possessive, jealous if attention is given to your other 2? A lot of how she will react will be how her personality is. You may have issues with the new one being a female. Sometimes 2 females just won't get along. However, I've had 2 females at the same time before and not had a problem. Again it will really just all depend on their individual personalities and the limits and boundaries you enforce.
I would recommend them meeting on neutral ground the first time. At least that way they can meet without Lulu thinking she needs to "protect" hearth and home.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
