Your new puppy is so cute, just a thought - what about the heat cycle - dogs don't know or care if they're related. See I probably would have been better off going to bed a few minutes ago instead of looking at your puppy pics.
Kennels,crates,cages whatever you call them are very good, for kitties also, especially when people can't be with them or are sleeping. I got a chihuahua, my MIL had for about 18 months that was given full rein, whether she was home, asleep or gone. Now I am starting at the beginning and she is crated lots until she learns how to behave. She is totally housebroke and needs to learn the old poodles and 3 of the cats don't want to be jumped on, knocked over, etc.
I am now able to let her out some with the poodles and she is understanding she has to behave in order to get free for a bit. MIL thought crates were cruel, of course she's had 3 puppies she returned to Humane Society, because she didn't start them out rightand couldn't stand bad behavior.
Sounds like you will have another lovely companion for years to come. Good for you.

Now that I don't work anymore I don't want Lili getting seperation anxioties so I do leave her in the kennel and leave her here and there. Thats a nice kenneling option too.
Lili will be an awesome companion for myself and Tank. We just
went to the vet for the first time (since I've gotten her) and she got a good bill of health. 100% spoiled. I got a picture of her with her new vet for her scrap book. I posted it here.
Good luck with your fur babies. Keep me posted.
