LOL I can just imagine that, it sounds too funny
Keegan has gotten real clingy & wants to be in my lap alot.
Because he was there first and he is trying to tell her it is his house.
Sophie wants to play with Keegan & he gets all submissive but won't really play with her.
Is this back & forth typical? Is there something I should be doing or not doing? I'm open to any suggestions. |
Zeke a 5year old Lhasa Apso (my first born lol) was having his fifth birthday. What to I give him as a present???? A 13 week old yorkie brother! I thought it was the most magnificent gift ever.
(ya right, for me maybe lol)
Zeke took one look at his gift and growled the worse I had ever heard. Then he left the room.
(well that went over well)
Later that night as the baby was running through the living room, past Zeke, who grabbed Baxter by the neck growling. I thought he was having a $1200 snack!
(Oh my!!!)
So having to buy a gate playpen for Baxter and keeping him in one room, so Zeke wouldn't kill him, my problem was a big one, I really didn't think I was going to be able to keep the baby. Well a month went buy and Zeke
REFUSED!!! to walk into a room where the puppy was, Absolutely Refused. Nothing we did would get him into the same room with Baxter. And Baxter omg whenever he saw Zeke all he wanted to do was play, jump, bark, etc. all that cute puppy stuff.
3 months went buy, and Zeke would finally come into the same room,
it was killing him that the puppy was getting attention and he wasn't. The
green monster was getting the best of Zeke!. He would come into the same room, BUT!!! made a point to always look in the opposite direction from where Baxter was. Determination from Baxter won over, Him and Zeke now play like they are the brothers they were ment to be, and I do believe that one time I heard Zeke tell me that he was happy for his birthday present. Whew!
Even still when Baxter gets cuddly and wants some loves, The
green monster still comes over Zeke, and he has to be in my lap too.!!
I am sure glad I didn't get two puppies.
So it will all work out, eventually.. Just be patient and give each one their own time with you.
GOOD LUCK
