[MommysBabyRoxy]

Lexi is not spayed, I just got her 5 days ago, but she is going to be after she has all her shots and such and a blood test.

She is not a puppy, but closer to a puppy than Roxy. Roxy is 3yrs and 4 months, and Lexi is 1yr and 4 months. Lexi is still pretty playful, and so is Roxy, but even though Roxy LOVES playing with dogs at PetCo, etc., she isnt happy about Lexi. She plays with us in the house, but not Lexi.

They are starting to cuddle though at night, Roxy lets Lexi get closer to her than usual.

Theyre not playing yet though, and Roxy still looks at her when she jumps up like "why are you here? Please go away."

I am glad to hear that others have had these experiences and Rob and I talked about the "Alpha Dog" factor, and we knew from day 1 that we would shower Roxy with affection even with Lexi around. We also reward her when she is doing something nice with Lexi, via treats or compliments, etc.

Lexi just started giving kisses too, she didnt at first, but I have gotten 2 or 3 small little puppy kisses from her now. Makes me very happy she is getting attached to us and is looking more happy. You can see it in her eyes. She was so sad when I first got her.
