Best Idea/Worst Idea?

I've started dreaming of the sound of tiny pitter pattering paws and snuggling... yes, my biological puppy clock is ticking again. It's hard to imagine I could ever love anything as much as I love and adore my Olivia. And I have been agonizing that a new baby would make her feel jealous, take attention away from her or that she would be in any way unhappy. But I've also been doing extensive research and trying to remember that she is a dog, not a real baby, and that by nature, dogs are pack animals. And so, while she may feel jealous and need to adjust at first, she would actually probably really love having a brother or a sister.

I'm not sure if I will get another dog. The dog I have has pretty much taken over my life and turned me into a crazy dog lady. But I'm thinking about it.

Pros-

• Olivia will have someone to play with all the time.
• If I start grad school in the fall, I won't have to worry about Olivia being home alone because she will have a buddy to play/snuggle/spend time with
• It will be good for Olivia- exercise, company and hopefully it will make her less needy of my undivided attention (she is biting my foot and barking at me as I type this)

Cons-

• I might need to take out a second mortgage, sell my car and give up using electricity to afford to buy and maintain another bulldog
• Twice as much hair, slobber, messes, cleaning, etc.
• The possibility that Olivia and the new puppy don't like/keep each other entertained and I could end up with two puppies demanding my undivided attention
• It will be more difficult to bring two to my office, out and about, etc.
• Another 6 months of puppy adolescence (which, if you haven't gone through, is, in a word, hell...)

I have consulted a breeder and have been weighing my options. I will keep thinking about it and we'll see what happens...
