Thank you for the info on the proper way to do introductions. I thought I was doing the right thing by doing the intros outside and not in the house...but I guess I needed to take it a few steps further. Ellie is quite a bit bigger than Chloe (ellie is 7 lbs and Chloe is almost 2 lbs) so it is going to be difficult to walk Chloe until they are comfortable with each other because she is so tiny...any suggestions?

Could the size difference be part of the problem too???
I suggest having someone walk one while you walk the other, until you feel comfortable walking them both. If you are nervous, they will feel it!

Spaying them will help, because they won't have the hormonal fluctuations that can bring about aggression...kind of like pms in us!

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions!
