Lex was a year old when I got Lulu. I would have to say go with a time frame that you are comfortable with. I dont' find that having two is any more work than having one. It's a blast and in addition to my two and a half year old son and cat they have each other to play with. No problems. There was a bit of jealousy for the first 3 or 4 days that she came home but after that things went like clockwork. I just made sure to show him that she was an addition and not a replacement to the household.
