Hi Jenn
thanks for your feedback Myles is totally separate from Rudy I have a gate up where Rudy is when he is not crated b/c he needed to be trained etc and I was not gonna let him roam the house b/c if he does he goes right for Myles food and favorite burger (toy) that is on its last limb it is 14 yrs old as well. lol! That is a great idea to move the crate out of that room so myles can come in and be alone

As far as food and treats I do give him some table food here and there but he has ulcerative colitis he is a nervous nelly and changing food causes him diarrhea it is a sin so it is very important that I do not give him much table food or treats per say but I try to spoil him as much as possible. I still take him for walks he loves that.

I think part of the problem is the when around the pup Rudy does not give Myles a chance he is on top of him and I think Myles mouth bothers him since 1/2 his mouth is rotted his teeth need to be extracted. So if he bumps myles head he does not like that at all. Didnt know if I wanted to get his teeth done at this time. My first yorky lived til 18yrs old and i had his teeth done at 14 yrs old and he lived 4 more years but I think Myles is different I dont know how he would do. Thats another issue

But thanks for ur input eventually I want to give Rudy some run in the house and see how that works but I think it is gonna be along time before that happens right?

Thanks
