Default new dog causing stress to old dog.

Hello everyone!!!!
If you have been to coco's play date pictures coco met my other dog mickey for the first time. I even spent the night at my mom's house because I was too tired after dinner.

during my stay at my mom's i realized that mickey does not like coco!
At first he seemed a little scared but when I took both of them for a walk Mickey seemed to take care of coco. Teaching her how to walk on a leash, always following her to make sure shes not getting herself in trouble...

Then I took her & mickey to my aunt's house and I noticed that Mickey was left out. Coco and my aunt's dog chelsea were running around playing and no one paid attention to Mickey. So Mickey came and we cuddled.

THen in the evening when I brought both coco & mickey back home, mickey started barking & growling at coco. I separated them. Put Mickey ont he bed and coco on the floor and Mickey would still bark from the bed!!!

I don't know if mickey feels its too over whelming because of his age. he's 15 years old and his health is slowly declining...

I am spending Wednesday night- Sunday morning at my mom's house because I am getting Lasik eye surgery and I wanted to be at home where my mom can make me food and Coco will be taken care of and of course I can rest. My mom's really excited because she is in love with Coco but I am worried that Mickey will get stressed out.

Do you have any advice for Mickey? Because of his age i definately do not want to give him a lot of stress but I can see myself visiting my mom and staying there for the weekend from time to time before I go back to Canada in August and I definately want mickey & coco to become friends.
