Oh my goodness -- what an adorable pup! I love his color and those eyes! If it doesn't work out send him to me!
JK I am sure you will make it work.
Be patient -- it can take a while. I have had it take up to a month for the new dog to be accepted. I had a dachshund and she went into a big pout for almost a month when we added a yorkie. On the other hand, when I just got Annie, she was so persistent, the other two pretty much accepted her within a week or so. She just would not quit trying. I do have to take her and occupy her away from them at times to give the older ones a break. I want the good feelings to continue and they can lose patience if they get pestered too much.
One caution -- Ben & Candy (my adult yorkie & my Jack Russell) are very active. They were running after something as soon as we all went out the back door. Annie had been in the lead, but the other two saw something and off they went, bowling poor Annie over in the process. The poor thing limped for a week! Two vet visits & a set of xrays later she is just fine but it must have been a pretty big injury to have made her limp that long. So you do have to protect the baby against unintentional roughness as well as protcting the older ones from frisky puppy persistence.
