I agree. I know first hand that it's hard to adjust to a new pet in the mix. Especially if you feel you've been lied to and if your original dog doesn't take to him immediately. Just try to remember that it's not the dogs fault and he only wants you to love him. Things will get better. Just try to remember that he's still a baby and he isn't doing these things on purpose. Hopefully you'll be able to get some extra sleep tonight so that things will go smoother tomorrow. And, each day he's with you he'll learn your routines and rules. Just tell yourself that you can make it through the first week or two and then you'll be in a better position to evaluate what needs to be done. He'll be used to you by then and you'll be bonded more to him. Just look into those gorgeous eyes every chance you get (who could resist those cute eyes!) and tell him you love him. He'll be happy and you'll feel good for making him so happy. He's a beautiful pup. Good luck!
