Yep; been there done that too. Only our first dog is a jealous Westie - much larger than his little sister. And he was three when we brought Lucy home.
I had to give my Westie EXTRA SPECIAL attention after Lucy came home to help with the jealousy issues. I still do everything FIRST for him; he gets fed first; greeted first; out the door first . . . you get the picture. This way, he knows that he has not lost his status.
We kept them separated for a few days and watched them closely. Due to their size difference and Lucy is still a pup - I don't leave them alone together when I am not here.
It's fun to watch them play together and I think Ringo would miss his little sister. |
