Thanks to everyone who has responded with your experiences with two dogs....both same sex and opposite.

Now I am wondering if I really want another puppy for Sophie or is it just me who "thinks" she would benefit from a fur friend.

Sophie is very well adjusted, 100% potty trained, and has a great temperment. I would so hate to ruin that and our relationship by bringing in another puppy whether male or female.

Boarding is one thing I do worry about. We only take vacations maybe once or twice a year, but the thought of her by herself for the time that I am away just kills me and I really don't have anyone close that I would want to keep her for me. I would take her with us but our normal vacation spots do not allow dogs.

This gives me a lot to think about. There is no rush to get the puppy so maybe I better just take a step back and really think this one through.

Here's another question then....those who only have one dog....do they board well by themself?
