I had to smile when I read your post! When we brought home our little girl, our 5 year old boy wanted NOTHING to do with her. He was used to being an only child and was just fine with that. The new puppy was so hyper and was relentless to play with the older one and he was not having any of it. I remember thinking what have I done? maybe I shouldn't have brought a puppy home since he was so set in his ways at 5 years old. Well...no matter how much she tried to play, he would just bark and run into the other room. This went on for exactly 7 months. He would never stay in any room that the puppy was in and then one day out of the blue, he went up to her. He still doesn't really play with her but he loves her to no end. They turned out to be the best of friends. He made sure to teach her all his bad habits and she was quite eager to learn them!!
