He is not eating much and he and my little Rigger have not played yet. They have had two little snapping episodes over our attention. He has piddled in the house twice but I expected that due to just being in a new place. He is very loving and quiet.
I think it is just going to take a little time for him to get 100% at ease. I keep reminding myself that he has not even been with us for 48 hours yet!
We are thrilled with him. He is a large Yorkie. Rigger weighs about 11 pounds and Mavrick 13. Rigger is a porky yorkie and Maverick is taller and slim. Rigger is blonde and Mavrick is silver, black and tan. Rigger has big ears that stand straight up. Mavrick has little ears that do not stand up.
I want them to be best friends!! How long does it usually take?
Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement when we were going through the waiting period!! |
Oh gosh! First of all, congratulations! We have a Yorkie that we recently adopted from a breeder, so she isn't really a rescue but it's sort of the same situation. The first day, she and Franklin
hated each other! I was so terrified, I even thought about taking her back. Of course everyone here reassured me that this was normal and that they would eventually get along. Well they were right! It's been almost a month and we couldn't love her more! She and Franklin are not best friends (yet, hopefully) as she is quite a bit older than he is but I think they have learned to tolerate each other and maybe even enjoy each other's company. They run together and sort of play together. She's older and very calm and reserved - she is content to sleep most of the day while Franklin would rather run circles around her.
Hang in there! The first couple days/weeks can be tough but they will adjust eventually. Having two is wonderful and more props to you for rescuing. Congratulations and enjoy your new baby!
