Brit, you only live once and if the second dog brings you as much joy as Jackson is now you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner. I know I had changed my mind so many times when I went to get Toby (the newcomer rescue to the family) last December. I was a nervous wreck simply driving to the foster mom's home that was 1 1/2 hours away. I almost turned around twice but told myself if it wasn't the right fit, I'd know when I walked in her house. Needless to say, he was the right fit. He's FAR from perfect as he suffers from severe separation anxiety when I'm not hear and he is a rescue and tries to dominate Speedy at times but 90% of the time I can't imagine my life without him in it. Speedy was fine being the only "child" in the family but once the two of them got to know each other, you can't keep them apart and she definitely plays big sister to him. So if your heart is saying you have to do this and your head is saying think twice, I say go with your heart. The love we have in our hearts will far outweigh all the over analyzing and second and third thoughts. I will be following this thread to see the pics of the new addition!
