I have a 13.5 year old male lab and his age is definitely showing. He is still in good health, but is a lot slower getting around, can't hear, and not sure he sees as well. We had a female that died a year ago last December. They had a bond and I believe he mourned her passing for quite some time. Actually, when I came home to find her gone, he was laying next to her.
Anyway, I have a chance to get a new pup from my son's friend. My biggest concern is how he will handle this. In some ways, I think it will be good for him to have a new companion. Then I worry that it could be hard on him. Curious as to other's opinions or experience with bringing a new pup into the family with an older dog.
