I just recently did the same thing you are thinking of doing. I had an 8 month old boy and found a 7 month old girl who was in need of a home. My boy was not potty trained that well so I was really thinking it would not be a good idea. I did it any ways because like you I leave for work ever day and thought it would be good for my little boy. I will tell the truth and say the first week and maybe even some of the second week I thought I had made a HUGE mistake. But now......I am soooo happy I did it. They are so great together and they are both doing EXTREMLEY well with their potty training. Of course I had to start complexly over with the training when I got the little girl but I locked them both in the same crate since they like to cuddle. I am able to let them out about 2 times a day and than they get free run of the house when I get home from work. It has been so much fun having another but it is a little more work. . I am sure if you have a little time and some patience at first it will defiantly be worth it in the end.
