Resolved Question: I am female and I live alone. What is best for me? A male or female puppy?(i only work 3 days/wk)?

I will get this new dog companion later. My current dog, Babette, a female, have congestive heart disease. She is also blind. I will get a puppy. Babette will get along with dogs of either sex. She … she laid her in the competition around, and let my footy pajamas destroy her. I'm getting either Malta or Morkie … do not know if I should get a male or female. I need to decide soon, ishly. I thank you for your help! (Oh, God, please … do not tell me backyardbreeder SiC patrols! I heard what you said, you have so many offers since you know so much about dogs. Just to answer questions about Malta variety of gender if you can.)
