hi all,
Myles my soon to be 14 yr old yorky on 6/12 does not seem to be taking to our new pup Rudy who is now 5mths we have had him 2mths. I posted before about this but I thought it would get better they are separate all the time, only together if they are in the yard together and Myles does not even go down our deck if Rudy is down on the grass he wants nothing to do with him. It makes me real sad though that I did this got a new pup with my older one.

He always did sleep a lot but yesterday and today seems more sleepy and did not eat yesterday which some days he did that and other days he will eat a lot I am just wondering if he is depressed and down and out. All he gets to do now is go back in his bed after he goes outside to the bathroom, he used to go in the living room where Rudy is now and look at the front door or lay on the rug but he does not want to do that at all. If Rudy is crated I let him in the liviing room on my lap or try to put him by the front door but he just runs away. It is not the same behavior for him at all.
What should I do?
I would like to hear from all of my fellow yorky owners that are in this situation with other older yorkies and new pups.

Thanks
