We were sort of hoping for the new Yorkie to become "my" dog because my SO has her hands full already with her Yorkie. I wanted a cute one as well so we could both have one to lay with and play with. Hopefully we'd each have one to follow us around and walk with.
Only 2 days in, I'm really concerned. BOTH of them are constantly hounding her for attention.
I'm not the one he wants to sleep with at night...
I'm not the one he goes to lay on all cutely....
I'm not the one he follows around...
I'm not the one he comes to when he's called....
Honestly, I think the people we got them from were a lesbian couple, so maybe he's just more comfortable with females in general. But she doesn't have the time to give two Yorkies adequate attention!! If she were to try, both of them would be getting a little neglected. I have all the attention in the world to give and it seems like he just doesn't want it. It's really heartbreaking, to be honest.
Is there much of anything I can do at this point? I've never seen a dog take so strongly to one person and not the other so quickly. When I took him to have him sleep next to me last night, he huffed and wasn't happy about it. Whenever I'd leave, he'd snuggle next to her.
The end result, if it keeps up, is two Yorkies constantly battling for attention and probably not getting enough...and me on the sidelines a little upset by it.
But if he was raised around women only for his first 6 months, it may be tough to break...
