I think it will work out especially given Bailey is timid and should accept him in time. Good luck and keep us posted. |
You just got some great advice with this post above and the others
My oldest Chanel is 2 years older than my youngest Cheri and when we got her
Chanel was J E A L O U S
Never in my life did I know a dog could actually pout like a human
She was jealous for 2 straight months - I thought too I made a mistake but tried to act normal with the new puppy and not overdo the attention
it took time - eventually holding each on both sides for short periods telling them what good girls they were and boom - one day they were playing and are best friends - where ever one is the other is right there.
when Cheri started to actually play with toys - Chanel would hide them or pile ALL of them in front of her and act like Clint Eastwood - daring Cheri to
'go ahead....make my day' - poor Cheri would sit and sit looking at the toy pile Chanel was guarding
I swear poor Cheri could hardly play with a toy without Chanel taking it away from her - and lucky for me I was always there to referee and distract them it took a bit and for Cheri to be a certain age when Chanel realized it was fun having a little sister
