Sorry that it's time. He's a handsome fellow. I wouldn't have thought to bring his brother with him.... somewhat oddly, it sounds like a good idea.... I don't have experience with that.... but I do this: Don't hesitate to get an additional pup if you feel up to it.... it's not a replacement per say as much as it's a new family member for all of you to enjoy and share your love with. I know I should have much sooner.
