I put him on a leash and my husband held on to the leash when we first brought her home. We've only had her for 2 weeks. I didn't know what he would do and he is so much bigger than she is. She is very tiny and he weighs about 18 lbs. ( he is actually getting pretty chubby, I may have to cut back on his food) He really likes her and is really pretty gentle with her considering she is the one who is always jumping on him wanting to wrestle. I try to discourage this as I am afraid he will hurt her without meaning too as he is so much bigger. He is jealous of her. Doesn't like it when she gets his toys and of course when I am holding her, he jumps up on me too. But he always tries to sneak and take her toy or treat and doesn't ever try to hurt her. She will growl at him and try to bite him and he backs off. It is kind of funny. He seems to know she is a lot smaller than he is. I just watch them very carefully as I couldn't take it if she got hurt and I try to discourage them from their play wrestling.
He has regressed on his housebreaking though. He was completely housebroken and now he wants to go in the house. I guess because we are working on her training and she has accidents. It will take a lot of patience, but I love them both enough to work through it.
This morning I put him in his kennel when I left for work and I was bringing her to work with me so she was running around. She did not like it when I put him in the kennel. She was over sitting right against the door licking at him through the wire and then it looked like she was trying to get the door open. I think they like it other enough that we can work it out. |
