Around here "should I get a pup" really means tell me all the reasons I should get a pup ;D  My this time next year we should all have at least one more. ;) ;)

Oh please.  They're like chips.  You can't have just one, ever.  You can't have 2 either.  3 is sort of pushing it...  It's in the rule book too.  I saw it.  You must have missed the memo...I'll send it over for ya.

Big Paws are addictive.  We only have the one now but are currently plotting to get another one.   So, I vote yes!

Having 3 has been an adventure, but all 3 dote on and play with each other (even the 35 pounder with the 150 pounder).  I think mine are happier having each other around and i know I love having all of them (even Puck)around.  If you like the female and your boy likes her and tolerates her presence in his territory, it ound like a win-win situation.

I went and got her last Sunday, 500+ mile round trip, wasn't really all that bad either.  My male LOVES his new little sister.  I took him with me just to make sure everything was gonna be ok.  It was her first long car ride too and she was perfect.  Either looked out the window, slept, or chomped on a bone, but didn't make a sound the whole way home.  Thankfully she's fixed, as he was trying to hump her silly for 3 days in a row, but it's tapered off now and everything is fine.  I'll post some pics soon.  He's visibly happier all around, no question about it.
