 new yorkie in the house
Hello! We're new to yorkie talk. We just got our second yorkie 6 days ago at the persistant urging of our vet. He always says that little dogs need a companion. Our 2 1/2 year old 8 lb Mia was very depressed after my husband went back to work following 6 weeks at home recuperating from surgery. She would always lay on our daughters bed when we went to work. But we noticed she was acting out of sorts. Then the one day I found her hiding on our daughters pillow sham. The vet said its time for a playmate. So that night we got Pixie a 13 month old 3 lb girl. She's very sweet and cute as a button. Heres the dilemna... whenever Pixie barks Mia will growl and nip at her legs which agggravates Pixie and she tries to fight with Mia then Mia defends herself. Also.. Mia lunges at Pixie to try to play but we're thinking Pixie must think Mia is attacking her so out come the fangs! Are they establishing their territory or what could it be? Another thing is that Mia tries to lick Pixies mouth when I hold them together. Is that a sign of caring? HELP!! |
