Are you sure you aren't more disappointed about getting a larger Yorkie than you wanted rather than whether the dogs will get along? I don't think anyone feels you will have a problem regarding with getting along.
Yes, I have definately gotten the message that a few pounds difference (though they are small dogs and a few pounds means more than if they were a large breed) won't be what determines whether or not they get along. All of the people with postings about large breed dogs loving their little yorkie buddies really set my mind at ease. It is obviously how we help them to socialize. Speaking of which, Angus is running around with her now! (not RIGHT NOW . . . they are both tuckered out and snoozing!) She was chasing him around, and instead of looking for an escape route he was zipping around with her. He could easily have jumped onto the couch (and did a couple of times to rest), but he would sit and wait for her to come to him. Or he would walk over to her and wait for her to start the chase. It was so cute.
I am not disappointed in the size she may or may not grow to. Angus is my first dog, and I am learning as I go along. Though he is two years old, I still worry.
By the way, she has a name!! It took a while, but we all decided on "Piper", so I'll be changing my name here to "AngusAndPiper'sMom".
Thank you for all of the information. Everyone here is so caring, helpful, and open. I hope I will be able to give great advice like I've gotten today! |
