Some pups prefer people, and honestly I think your Thor may be one of them. I don't see anything wrong with this. If he is at daycare and unhappy then thats not good for him either.
I recently got a puppy for Miss Mini, at first she was obsessed with watching everything Miss Mia did and following her everywhere to do so. Then she engaged in some tug with her, now Miss Mini kind of wishes Miss Mia wasn't there at all! She puts her nose in the air and all but ignores her, or should I say tolerates her but yet always has one eye on her!
As far as being home alone all day I don't think Thor minds, I think an xpen with toys, water and a peepad will be fine, they adjust well to our schedules.
I think you need to stop beating yourself up and worrying, your a good Momma and hes happy you found him and theres no where he'd rather be then with you.
I know others may think I'm wrong but I would consider getting a puppy for both of you, he has already shown that he CAN be trusted with other dogs, and puppies are different then big dogs. I know Miss Mini, despite what she thinks, loves having Miss Mia around!
Good luck and give Thor a treat for me!
