Considering a second doodle, for the second time.

This is round two at trying to rescue a doodle and a second to our pack. Someone beat us to Lilly the first time we tried, but this one is only 1h from our house. I've called and emailed the rescue and am waiting for a call back. Its another girl to go with our Hershey girl. Cross any fingers you have.....

Getting a little back on track....we got a call from the rescue on the weekend and we get to meet Bailey on tuesday. She told us Bailey is 2-3 yrs old, and was rescued from death row in a lousianna kill shelter. That sure is a long way from canada. She is house/crate/leash trained. We are bringing Hershey to see if they get along.

What questions/ what should I be looking for besides if the dogs get along and if she is generally healthy.

Updates will be coming, but in a few days . The rescue is on a farm and the owner had to be away on farm buisness. Not sure what that is but she resceduled for thursday night.....my birthday. We're getting pretty excited.

For those that have 2 doodles, where do they sleep? Hershey sleeps with us, usually on the floor but occasionally on the bed. We are not sure we have room for another on the bed, and if they are in the room together will they wrestle all night? Is it bad to have one in the room and another in a different room, seems kinda like having favourites.

Update: We are still in a single doodle family. We met Bailey today, and she was a great dog, but not siuted to what we want. She was friendly and well behaved but she and Hershey didnt hit it off. In fact they completely ignored each other. This was the first dog ever that Hershey didnt try to lick, doodle 500, ultimate wrestle, or what have you. They both ignored each other. It was weird, so we passed. We are very sad, but it was the right decision. Bailey would have been perfect for someone looking to be a single dog house, but she wasn't righ for us. thanks for all the well wishing, we'll keep looking.
