| new puppy makes older yorkie sad just wondering if any of you are dealing with this. i have an extremely dominiant 11 week old female yorkie puppy who has even gone as far as to lift her leg to try and pee on my other yorkies head-she tries to poo on the toys-etc luckily, i have been there and stopped her. my problem is that my older one 2 yrs-has been keeping her ears down and doesnt play much with the puppy and when she does the puppy seems to annoy her-pulling on her eyes and ears and collar and she usually sits at my feet or next to me when i'm sitting around and now the puppy is there so she will go off across the room-and i tried to call her over to sit near me and the puppy but she wont- how do i make her feel loved too w/o spawning the puppy to act out even more dominantly? the older one has been sleeping with me-which is a change and she still hasnt perked up- any ideas? i feel so bad-she just isnt herself and its been 3 weeks. ---they do eventually get along right? so sad |

| Well dont lose heart, when I got Alfie my mum's yorkie Pebbles hated him and would have nothing to do with him, but it has a happy ending as she just loves him to bit's now! It took a litle while but we got there. I know it's upsetting when you get the 2nd one and the 1 st one get's all dejected but keep reassuring the 1st one. Goddo luck,hope they are soon getting on well!

| Our older dogs sulked for a month or so each time we got a new puppy. Then they become inseparable. Sadie, our newest little girl is rough and rowdy. She sometimes annoys our older dachshund. We have to pull her away and tell her "no" to the incessant licking and jumping. But Kate is just now starting to come out and want to play with her a little. Just not as much as Sadie wants. Ben has already been fully accepted into the "pack" and I almost felt guilty when I first brought Sadie home and upset the balance. But she is quickly winning the others over! Give your older dog a little more time. Keep giving her extra attention away from the little one.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Give your older dog a little more time. Keep giving her extra attention away from the little one.[/QUOTE] Totally agree with this. We just got Lulu ten days ago and it took about five for Lex to get used to having here there. She is now working her way into his heart. It got so that she would go to him and he would get up and go anywhere. He would even go sit on the steps so she couldn't get to him. I did make sure to take him out and do a lot with him seperate from her so he would know he was still top dog.

| sounds like mine, she goes up on the couch to get away the puppy is JUST relentless---and will not back down-not for a minute, it's so sad. oh well, guess it's good to have a strong willed puppy-instead of sick. i wish there wasnt so much snow and i could get them out and get some of her energy levels down-tee hee-right now, there isnt much sidewalk left and where there is it's flooded---and these guys are such low-riders they get soaked. lucky me..... i'll hang in there... and keep giving lucy special love ---thanks guys! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | My Chanel pouted and sulked for 2 months whenever Cheri got attention - I doubled the attention to Chanel but her ears were always gone lol - My poor baby's nose was totally bent out of joint - once Cheri grew big enough to really play with .....they became best friends.... |

| Its hard even when you get 2 at the same time and they are the same age! Or maybe its just my boys, but I have my little guy who likes to be picked up and held, like a baby with his head on your shoulder and his little legs down my front. So hes always looking at me to pick him up. Then I have my bigger boy, hes not a fan of being picked up so I rarely get to pick him up! He sometimes will catch me picking up or holding the little guy and the looks I get!!! Makes me feel bad! Most of the time though, if I pick up one the other will bark at me. They are very jealous little boys! |

| Prada was miserable when we got Dolce. She would sit in the back of her crate for hours. It took a little time, but they're good friends now. |

| Reading through this makes me feel better. Daisy is 1 1/2 years old and I'm looking into getting another Female puppy and I'm afraid how Daisy will be towards her. Will she be mean, bite im not sure, she's fine around others dogs, just gets very jealous. She goes to my moms a few times a week and they have a doberman, they are fine together but the minute Lucy (doberman) comes to you to get pet or give a kiss Daisy jumps at her, barks and I'm just afraid what may happen. I know eventually they will have to get along.
