You need to do what is best for your dog and for you........if getting another one, right away, works, then do it!!!
I have been having those "pangs" to find an indoor companion for my Lilly, since we lost our Murphy, who stayed indoors with her, during the day. I'm trying not to act on them, right now, since we have two others, who prefer to stay outdoors, during the day, but still, it nags at me.
Best of luck for you and your family.
