Hi Everyone! I'm new here, I have a 5 month old tri named Lady. When I got her I was intending to probably get a second cav after a year or so, but... my breeder has a sweet 12lb girl who is almost 3 years old, but cannot be bred due to a low thyroid issue. She is therefore giving her up to a pet home, and I thought a slightly older dog might be easier than a second puppy. I've talked to my vet and the low thyroid problem is manageable with a pill a day. I've heard some bad stories about having two girls together, but I would be having both spayed (Lady next month and the new girl in a couple months as she is just coming into heat now). Do you think it's a good idea to take her, or should I wait? The reason Im considering a second is because I thought it would be nice for Lady to have a friend during the time I am at work. I live in an apartment but come home every day at lunch from work for walks, and we go for long walks at night and for hikes on weekends. Two can't be that much harder than one, especially since the seconds a bit older? Any advice would help, thanks
