She and Turbo will be fine with another little one. Little Bear is the most gentle loving dog I've ever met, she will mother that pup half to death if I know Little Bear. She is the Boss of Everything and Everybody. She will make sure that Turbo minds his manners around the little one. We are hoping that the little one will make Bear's last days with us special. She loves to fuss over other dogs, cats, squirrels, deer etc. She will not tolerate any signs of agressive behaviour or rough housing and there will be no stealing of food, toys, treats unless she's the one doing the stealing. We are praying that having the little one to mother will ease her senility and anxiety.
When my son and his wife were sent to the Gulf they shipped out there cat to me for 8 months. Bear mothered that cat as if she'd given birth to it herself despite the fact the cat was three times her size. So a puppy should be a natural for her. |
