Hello Yorkie family,

I'm glad I found this site! I have a 14 year old male Yorkie and have just acquired a one year old female Silky Terrier. I'm gradually trying to get them used to each other - the Silky is extremely energetic and rambunctious and, of course, my Yorkie is in his golden years so he's really toned down. I'm monitoring him to see if he's "upset" over the new dog or even depressed. Can anyone give me any advice on how to handle this new venture. I had a Silky Terrier for 16 years and had to have him put to sleep last May. Is this a good idea to have such an older dog and then bring a young dog into the picture? I want my Yorkie to enjoy his golden years being very happy.

Thanks.
