I didn't read the whole thread, so I didn't know the OP was getting a new puppy. I thought she already had one. OP, like some of the comments posted earlier (and I'm sure you mean well) but yes, if you're having trouble spending time with the dog you currently own, I would hold off on getting a new puppy. My advice (if you can) is to consider putting your dog in a doggie day care, or hiring a dog walker to take him/her out during the day (if you're away from home most of the day). It's really important to understand that dogs are intensely social animals, and they become bored, lonely, and sometimes destructive without companionship. Just an FYI.
