As a recent "mommie of 2" I have to say that at first I thought it WAS a mistake. My little boy was so cute and wonderful, of course. My my precious Pippa was upset. The first few days, she went on a hunger strike and gave us these pitiful looks...you know the Yorkie look-ears down, eyes sad.."I can't believe you are doing this to me". She wouldn't let me pet her or love on her. She wouldn't get in my lap at all. If she smelled Scout on me it was a no-go on the lovin'. I went out of my way to lavish her with special love and attention, only to end up frustrated and guilty. I took a friend's advice and ignored her for a few days. I did not try to pick her up, kiss her, hold her, greet her at the door-nothin! It was the hardest 2 days! According to my friend, attention is Pippa's motivator, and as soon as you take that away, she will crave it and want it back! That was so true...about day 5 she came around-lovey dovey and kissey poo was back, and she decided Scout wasn't so bad after all, and he could stay..hehe. Sorry so long, just be prepared for a little jealousy if Esme has been the "Center of the World" for awhile! They take to that job rather quickly. Now I am so happy I have the two of them, and they love each other now...and look for each other when one is at the vet, etc.. Good luck
