| Will she get over it? Help!!! I just got my new yorkie yesterday. I have one already. Sadie is 14 months old and we got her a year ago this month. We also have a yellow lab that adapted pretty well to Sadie. Now we picked up our new fur baby yesterday. She is 6 months old today. Yesterday Sadie was doing ok with her. She played with her and everything. Today she is being like a pouty big sister. She runs away every time Zoey gets near her and won't have anything to do with her. I was worried that Zoey wouldn't adapt well, but she is doing just fine, it is Sadie that I am having problems with. I keep telling myself that she is upset and that she will adapt in a week or so. Does anyone have any encouraging words for me? Right now I am sorry we got Zoey. Even though she is a little pistol. I need some encouraging words. PLEASE!!!! |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Give it some time. When I had gotten Gracie, the male I had wouldn't "speak" to me for at least 3 days. I think that your older one will accept the youngster.

| Take a deep breath! I promise, it will get better. When Bailey met Tia. the first day she thought I brought home a new toy. The second day, it looked like she wanted me to take it back. I know its hard to see our furbabies have their button noses put out of joint when we get a new fur member in the family. But in my experience, furbabies (as well as skin babies) do get over it. Just give Sadie extra hug and kisses right now and let her be first so she knows she hasn't lost her spot. Before you know it, you'll catch them cuddled up together having a nap and you'll wonder how you lived without either one of them!

My furkids Donating Member | Hi Zoey's Mom! I'm Sadie's Mom..(not your Sadie!!) I just brought home a new furbaby yesterday!! Lillie Jean is 8 weeks old. Sadie Mae is 2 1/2 yrs old. I had asked the same question on this site but haven't gotten an answer yet...Maybe we can help each other lol! When I brought Lillie home yesterday, of course she wasn't herself, missing her familiar surroundings, mom and her siblings and....she got her first shot. Lillie slept alot...Sadie kept checking her out...Lillie tried to play with Sadie and Sadie would have nothing to do with her...in the matter of fact she snapped at her a couple of times...I thought to myself....What have I done?! Well....today is a different story..they are playing like they have been together forever..(well maybe not that good yet) Sadie will start running after Lillie and then Lillie after Sadie...I think it is just going to take time for them...let them be together, but not alone...just in case!, I believe it will get better everyday.. Good Luck! Lillie is calling me as I type!! whine, whine!! lol

| Thanks everyone, please keep the reassurances coming. Right now I am feeling so guilty. Yesterday was nice because Sadie was playing with Zoey and today she keeps running away! The breeder told me that Sadie would get her nose out of joint because she was a spoiled little girl. But Sadie is just so sweet and I don't want her to change. Thanks everyone. I know things will get better, but can't stop the guilt feelings. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | When I got Cali last August I had never had 2 dogs at the same time because I didn't want the dog I had to be upset. I finally decided I had to have Yorkie again so i got Cali. Maya was 8 years old and cranky. It took her awhile to get use to Cali but now I think May a really likes having her around, even though she won't admit it. I have seen her move next to her and Maya has become more frindly and outgoing. Believe me they will be best buds in a few weeks. Just make sure you give Sadie alot of attention. They are so close in age they will have a blast together. Dogs are pack animals. Try not to stress over it it will get better soon!!!

| I had Baby for over 2 years before I got Juicy my 2nd yorkie. I researched alot before adding another yorkie. I learned that I had to pay extra attention to Baby the first yorkie so she wouldn't see the arrival of the newbie as something bad for her. I made sure the first one got everything first (fed, brushed, treats, playtime and hugs). They have been together less than 3 months and they are best buds!! You should see them love on one another and sleep together. In the beginning it took time for Baby to warm up to her. I was so scared. I gave myself a migraine worrying over Baby, but everything worked out. They'll be okay. Give the first one extra attention and praise!! Hang in there. Good luck!!! |

| I think it took Starsky all of 2 weeks to get used to Shylah. Now they love each other and will sleep together. Just give it time.

| Thanks again everyone. You are all life savers. I was so depressed yesterday, I was crying last night. I kept loving Sadie up and she isn't always a lovey dovey. So she was pushing away, but I loved her up anyway. We have a yellow lab too, so the order is yellow lab (Maddie), first yorkie (Sadie) and then second yorkie (Zoey). That is the way I feed them and give them treats. I think that we made a mistake. My husband moved Sadie's crate and put it next to Zoey's and put Zoey's food next to Sadie's. So last night I changed it back to the way it was for Sadie and put Zoey's somewhere else. So I am hoping that will help some. She is sniffing Zoey more today. I know she will warm up, but it is really nice to hear all your stories. You all have been there. I wanted another yorkie and wanted to do it while Sadie was still pretty young. Zoey never sits down. She is a very busy little thing. I get tired just watching her. I will post pictures when I have a minute to take some. Thanks again everyone. You are all the greatest! |
