Don't be afraid. I got my second one last year. Our first one was 10 years old at the time and I had the same worries. Gizmo (the older one) has accepted him just fine and taught him all of his good habits as well as his bad ones

. Just kidding. I had no trouble potty training either. He (Barkley) just followed Giz. I just made sure that Gizmo had plenty of love and never felt like he was being left out. Good luck with your decision.

thank you for the reply. we relly would love to get a second one, i just hope it dosent change snickers in any way. can i ask you how you introduced your second one to gizmo. i have heard that you should do it outside of the home so the new one is not in snicker's territory. thanks again.

Just picked up our new little boy this weekend! His new older sis is 6 years old. Was wondering how they would do together, but they seem to be doing fine. I still make special time for her, so that she knows that she is special. We do things just by ourselves sometimes, that way she still gets her one on one time with mom.
