hello everyone,
I joined this forum when I first got my baby Max back in 2008 and it helped me so much that here I am hoping you can help me with this.
So, Max was the best decision I ever made. I got him for myself when I was at a very low point in my life and he has made me so happy. I can't imagine my life without him. So its been for a while now that although its been great so far, I have been thinking and talking a lot about getting another yorkie. I've been reading about it and trying to learn as much as I can about how to go best about this but - I haven't gone about it because my schedule with work and all - its been tuff and Max gets ALL of my time when I'm home
So, a very close friend of mine went ahead and got me a new yorkie Friday. he told me after work he had to see me and that he would meet me at Grand Central after work. I'm thinking ok, well I've been depressed about Valentine's day rolling around and being single and all - I thought maybe movie tickets or chocolates -- boy was I wrong. he surprised me with a Yorkie in is backpack!! Now, I seem to know more about what goes behind such a decision rather than he does and so I was completely shocked. In his backpack there she was, the cutest yorkie ever. At 10 wks old (from the few papers she came with) there she was. Now, I tried to be as appreciative as I could but I just couldn't help but just blow up with 100's of questions like, where did you get her? Who are her parents? I want to see them -- and from his reaction I saw what I was hoping wasn't the case.
he picked her up from the airport, ordered her online.
Now here I am with the new addition "Bella" and my terrified 3 year old "Max." Max is really just, used to it being just me and him. he's very calm and Sweet, everyone refers to him as a sweetheart... I like to think I raised him that way. Now Bella on the other hand - I love her, she has certainly won my heart but she doesn't display the same behavior as Max when he was a baby. I know she's going to be a tuff cookie. Right now I'm dealing with trying to get her to go on the pads and getting her away from all the loose chords in the house. I never went through this with Max.
I need help. I have to go to work tomorrow and I'm afraid. I have bought a bunch of toys and treats for Max - all she wants to do is play, she's a baby but my big baby isn't having it. She chases him and its clear he's afraid. Very afraid - he runs to me and its really breaking my heart. It's really important to me that he's comfortable with this new situation and he isn't.
When she's sleeping, he goes up to her and smells her but at his pace - he's, a complete gentleman. I Love him like... just typing this makes me want to cry - I'm a complete mess right now lol.
Bella - is now in my room barking about I don't know what. I am off to check on her and pray for a point in some direction as I am very lost at what to do. Sorry for the long story.
Thank you.
