Definitely the kind thing to do, but only if you will be able to love the other as much as Rosie. Two dogs that are indoor/outdoor are not too hard to manage. It is best to look for one without her along at first, so you can give full attention to the new prospect and his/her personality. If you find one that may be a good fit (after spending some time with him/her) then bring Rosie along for a meet & greet to see how well they get along. If you can have an overnight/weekend stay to see how things go, even better. Shelters & rescues are excellent places to look. With the adoption fee you usually get a pet that is vetted/spayed and/or neutered already, so don't let a higher adoption fee deter you. Be prepared for a few bumps as they establish which of them will be dominant/submissive in their relationship...my guess is, Rosie will be dominant, and the new dog will have to be willing to yield to her ;). Other things to consider...you have a heavy shedder who requires some care/grooming. Unless you're up for a double dose of that, maybe consider a lower-maintenance breed? <br />Good luck!
