How far away is your son? I would suggest regular play dates with his puppy to keep spice happy. I would not get another fur baby, maybe after spice is gone consider getting another, but I wouldn't suggest it now. Dogs may like playmates, but they are not a requirement and another puppy might upset Sugar even more. Just love them both and hopefully you can continue to give Sugar all the love they need along with providing the puppy enough love.

I was lucky that my 9 year old Yorkie adjusted to the 2 puppies we brought home and is now very close with one of the puppy and likes the other. The 2nd puppy lives with us but belongs to my teenage daughter. She spent most of the summer house sitting with her puppy so it gave my older Yorkie and my Yorkie puppy a chance to bond, which was good. It can take several months for an older dog to adjust to a puppy. As the puppy ages and slows down a little the two dogs might get along better.

Good luck and I do suggest play dates with the 2 puppies as often as possible and you can snuggle and cuddle with Sugar to give her one on one time during them.
