[JuneBugs Momma]

Junebug was fostered in a loving home and was a puppy mill rescue. He was around many different sizes and breeds of dogs with his foster mom. We are now considering adopting another small dog (Maltese). The Maltese original owners dropped her off at the local spca and Main Line Animal Rescue took her and did what they do best, rescued her. She has allergies and ear infections (hence why she was abandoned). She was already spayed when she arrived at the spca. Main line came in and took her so she could get the medical treatment she needed. Both of her ears are almost swollen shut (cauliflower ear) but she is not deaf. She was also seen by a dermatologist. She has gone through steroid injections, will be on allergy meds for the rest of her life, as well as special Hill's Prescription Diet food. She is very loving and Junebug was playing and frolicking with her. Considering Main Line knows me from adopting Junebug from them, they think the fit would be good one.


My concerns is once she comes home here. I have never owned more than one dog at a time. It was easy with Junebug cause he got use to a potty routine pretty quickly. I pick up his water around 8pm, let him out at 9pm and he can go 11-12 hrs. if I want to sleep in for some reason. My concerns is for the new addition. I was told that she was in a home before being dropped off at the spca. Also the new dog usually follows in stride with routine with what the other dog does. I am not worried about during the day when I am home, for I am worried at night time. If she pee's in the bedroom, where Junebug sleeps with us, I am then afraid Junebug will follow suit then we have a huge problem!! During the day, Junebug is confined to a very large kitchen with pee pads to use so the new addition will follow suit. Again, I am worried about night time.


Any/all advice is appreciated!
