I have to agree with Karen's post that it may actually be harder on Jake. He's been your sole dog that you've doted on for so many years. He may take well to the newcomer or he may not.
How is he with other dogs?
Have you had any other dogs at your house with you? Maybe it would be worth a shot to have a friends dog come and stay with you for a couple of days so you could see how he would react to having another one there before you make any decisions. |
