Hi all...........I hope someone can help me and give me some advice. I just got a new puppy (girl) (bella) she is so cute, but I have a problem. I also have Louie, my beautiful little 1yr old boy that I have had for almost a year. He is perfect in every way....so sweet, playful but mellow...never gives me an ounce of trouble, he is truely my best friend....But the problem is that since Ive gotten Bella, who is 13 weeks old and completely differant from Louie in that she gets into soooo much mischief. She is so cuddley and sweet when I am holding her but when she is down she chases after Louie and bites him, and just gets into everything.
I actually got her because I figured that she would be great company for Louie and it would be easier for me to leave him home alone when I have to go out ( I NEVER leave him home alone, and figured that I would not feel so bad to if he had her. She is just so differant....He loves to go in the car in his bag.........she cries and wines the whole time. Now Louie seems a little depressed. He seems like he likes to play with her, but he just seems differant and sad

. It is breaking my heart and I dont know what to do. Should I bring her back to the Kennel where I got her or stick it out? Someone please help me. Any and all advice is welcome! Thank You

aww! i'm so sorry everythings not going as planned! a couple months ago we added another yorkie (Tripp) to our family for the same reason. Tucker is normally very very veeeery playful, outgoing, and active, but the second Tripp walked in he was scared out of his mind and hid behind the couch. Tripp would chase him around the house just wanting to play, but Tucker was not thrilled at all. I felt so horrible for doing this to Tucker, but as time has gone by Tucker still has a bit of an attitude, but they now share the bones instead of Tucker hoarding them, and they both run around chasing eachother and playing. So, it is possible, I hope Louie comes to love your new little one, and I hope things work out for the best!

Ohhhh thank you so much for your quick reply. so there is hope! Are they always under your feet when they are down though? It seems like these two are just rightthereundermyfeet! lol

They all have different personalities, too. No two will act the same.

YorkieShadow · 11-17-2005, 05:44 PM

I would give it some time. Its all new to both of them.

It should get better. I have a 8 yr old pom who is not very swett, the reason I got another dog, Cali my Yorkie and Maya the pom is 12 lbs. I have had CAli for 12 weeks and it is jusy starting to get better, Cali is not so wild and Maya tolerates her a little better. I stil have to be careful because maya will snap at the puppy. I was thinking of getting another puppy for Cali but I'm afraid they will both drive Maya crazy.

Keep her !! My Chanel pouted for almost 2 months everytime I kissed Cheri - and believe me it was a lonnnnng 2 months for us - but now they are BEST friends - I think when a new puppy comes into their lives they kind of treat them as we would a mosquito - they're pests and they're small -

When you new baby gets a bit bigger I bet they start having a blast together...Keep kissing him telling him what a good boy he is - let him watch you kiss her - then.... KISS him more lol

I bet he comes around....they're so cute I swear they are jealous like little kids are

Give it time, before you know it they will be best of friends. Maddie was the first and when I brought Rudy home she just loved him to death she thought she was his mom. Polly came along about 7 months ago and Maddie was ok with her but would snap at her when she didn't want to be bothered. Now it's a whole different story the play so good together. Rudy loved Polly from the day I brought her home. They all have such different personalities.

I second what everyone else has said.....give it time. On one hand, you have a very playful "baby" who is wanting lots of play time and attention. On the other, you have one who's been with you for a year as your "only child" so he's "set in his ways". You've introduced someone to HIS turf and he's upset. But it WILL get better

We have had Gabby for 8 1/2 years and recently rescued Gage, who is a year old. He still has lots of "play" in him while she's so set in her ways, it's crazy! She growled at him alot when he first got here but I showered her with lots of love and kisses, kept telling her she was a beautiful girl and momma's baby. She's finally gotten to the toleration stage with Gage so things are definitly improving in our house

So rest assured that things will get better.

lol, yes they are constantly under my feet, and sometimes when im standing up doing something in the kitchen they'll run through in a frenzy, collide with my legs, and almost knock me down... lol, sad since they're only 20lbs combined.. but hey
im sure everything will work out!

She can't help it. She's a baby. Rebel still acts like a pup and he's 6 months old. The age difference will always be there but give her time. She'll come around.
