I have 2 dogs also but 1 is a 4 yr old Shih Tzu (Jazzy) and the other is a 10 month old Yorkie (Mickey). When I first got Mickey at 10 weeks, Jazzy was 3 yrs old. I got Mickey so Jazzy could have a sister and playmate. Well for the first 2 weeks I thought I had made a huge mistake. Jazzy was soooooooooooo upset that she constantly had salvia running from her mouth and was very aggitated and extremely nervous. I made sure that I paid Jazzy tons of extra attention and made sure she knew she was still #1 dog, after alpha dog--me, of course. Also, Mickey slept in her cage at first, while Jazzy continued to sleep with me. In less than 2 weeks the 2 became best of friends. They now play together and just love each other, and we all sleep together. Mickey adolizes her big sister Jazzy. Whatever Jazzy does, Mickey wants to do. It is so funny because if Jazzy gets in trouble and is sitting and moping somewhere--Mickey goes and lies right next to her and will not come to anyone until Jazzy gets over her moping and will come also. It is so funny! Jazzy, on the other hand, does not show the same loyalty to Mickey when she does something bad, like tearing all the toilet paper off a brand new roll. Jazzy just sits there with this grin on her face like--I'm the good one! I swear they are just like kids! |
