Jake a big mama's boy, so I just kept encouraging him and telling him what a good boy he was, etc. Jackson would try to curl up with Jake to nap, but Jake wasn't having any part of that! He would just get up and walk away. I pretty much let them sort it out, just making sure I was always there to supervise. They gradually warmed up to each other. I felt like I just had to let them take it at their own pace, and just make sure there wasn't any aggressive behavior. I didn't leave them alone together until I was sure they would be okay with that. If I pet one, I pet the other too because I wanted to make sure they were both getting the same attention. I think once Jake realized that mommy was still going to spoil him, he was fine lol. But, Jake is very laid back and calm.....very very playful, but he's quiet. My boys are total opposites in every way. Jake finally realized that Jackson was a pretty cool playmate, so it all worked out.....thank goodness!  |
Ok, we aren't letting them around each other right now because of the ear/eye infections, but our first two do go up to the playpen or the room Camden is in and look in on her and then they walk away.
Wrigley is really attached to my Mom and needs to know where she is at all times, I'm sure she's going to be jealous at first. I think if Camden jumps all over her, that will freak Wrigley out and she will probably growl at her. She gets very nervous when the dog next door jumps up at her on the fence. If he doesn't jump at her, then she will smell him through the fence and offer her backside to him ( lovely I know )
It's good to know that even though your boys are opposites it works out! It's too early to tell exactly how Camden will be, she is still coming out of her shell. Though she likes playing with toys and usually Wrigley is in charge of the toys ( in her mind anyway )
I appreciate you sharing your experiences, it really helps!!
