He said Gizmo would teach the new one (Barkley) his good habits, teach him how to potty, etc. He was right. The transition was perfect. Giz has been a true gentleman. Sometimes he gets aggravated but has been just great with Barkley. He has taught him how to potty, and Barkley looks to Gizmo for everything. On August 15th Barkley will be 1 and Gizmo will be 11 on August 16th. It has been the best thing I have ever done. I will admit that Gizmo has always been very well behaved, laid back little guy and I know that has a lot to do with how he accepted Barkley. They are all different.
I want another one but I have the same fears. Thanks for sharing. Great pic too.
