[QUOTE="witzend, post: 386954, member: 99"] Bubba was my sweetheart. And territorial. We got Mandy when he was ten and she was about 10 months old and already trained. Bubba was very crabby about sharing his home with her. We were lucky that there was a neighbor family who had a dog that was very similar to Mandy and they played together almost every day. I felt that Mandy was very sad that Bubba didn't like her. She's such a sweet girl. She was three years old and so happy when we brought Oscar home, and they have been truly inseparable from day one. But there was always a nervousness about Bubba's age and arthritis and general grumpiness with Mandy, and even moreso with Oscar when he came home. We had to put Bubba down about 5 months later due to old age. That being said, I would really work with your difficult child to see how much she is willing to commit to a new dog. I know I love my puppies, and I would be lying if I said that they didn't give me a new lease on life. They truly bring me joy. I think that our expectations for the kids have to be realistic though, and if you think that it's a good fit, you know best. You don't want it to become an additional burden. And of course, like I say, the older dog has to be a big consideration too. [/QUOTE]
