I've been thinking and thinking and finally did it - just bought a little brother for Riley. He comes in on Saturday. Any advice for introducing the two??

Yey! A little brother! I can only suggest that you don't force them together. Let them get aquainted on their own. It took a good month for my 3 yr old and the puppy to get along! I did keep the puppy in her own pen at night while Vixxen slept with us - so she still felt special. That kind of stuff. Now they both sleep with us

It's hard to keep their food seperate though. I think Vixxen gained some weight eatin the puppy food

That is great advice! I'm going to do the same thing re: sleeping arrangements as Riley has always slept with me. I'm so excited to bring the little one home - I'm thinking of naming him Cooper (as in "mini-cooper") LOL
