We starated out with 2 bassets and they were the center of our world. Then one day along came Zoe our little shorkie. The two bassets were a little pissed at first but after awhile they became fast friends. Then a few months later we got Zach our little yorkie. The three girls were not overly happy to greet another member of the family but again they accepted Zach into the group. Just before Christmas we rescued a 6 week old shih tzu who was abandoned by his owner with his three sisters. Now everybody loves Oliver no jealousy no problems. Sometimes even the most spoiled dogs accept another dog real fast other times it takes a little longer but you have to have patience. When you give to one you have to give to both when you hug one you have to hug them both The older dog being first. That's how we did it and when they knew they were all loved we had no problem. |
