Sophia was an only child for almost six years so when I brought Gulliver home she was less than enthusiastic to say the least. He was four months and wanted to play play play and she did like your Dudley is doing, run away with tail tucked. We just continued to put her first, first treats, first greeting when we got home, etc. It took about a month but now they get along great. They actually just got done with a 20 minute bout of wrestling and chase around the living room. Soph still likes her own space when she sleeps and won't curl up with him and he still gets on her nerves once in a while so she has to put him in his place, but otherwise I'm very happy with how they get along. I'd say just keep doing what you're doing and give it time. It's not going to happen overnight but they'll find their place. You'll start noticing little things at first and then one day something will click. And congrats on the new baby. |
