I currently have a mini poodle (F) whos 5 and im really thinking about getting a second dog for her. I’d like a red golden doodle bc I believe these breeds will be compatible but im unsure if i should get another girl or if I should get a boy. Im worried abt any “catty” behavior from the 5 y/o towards the new pup. Any thoughts?

I don’t think the gender matters so much as the first dog having a new one in her home. She might feel displaced because of dynamics changing much like gaining another sibling. Size might play into it as well. A meet and greet is a good idea to see how they at least interact in a short time

Adult dogs instinctively understand puppies in my experience. We always had an older dog (4-7 yrs) and then a pup. Those adult dogs sure do know how to manage the pup. It looks aggressive but it’s not. It’s interesting to watch. Our dog is 4 and we’re almost ready to get another pup.

In my experience gender generally does not matter if your dogs are spayed/neutered. What does matter is if they respond well to each other. I’ve always gotten my dogs from the rescue. I take my current dog in, let them meet other dogs and see if any of them click. The best doggie pals are the ones they choose themselves.

Is your dog ever around other dogs? If so are they fine? Then they should be fine with whatever breed. I'm a big fan of adopting and doing meet and greets.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.
