Thanks so much for posting this thread.... getting April's (soon to be Harlie Dee's) brother Austen, I have the same interest. So far, I feel that my initial instincts are affirmed with:
- Neutral meeting ground
- Give equal attention
- Allow Zoey (my two year old Yorkie) to get fed first, etc. (although not at different times - just before Austin)
- Never leave them unattended until confirmed they are good together
- And of course some of the regular puppy stuff (e.g., Nutrical, puppy food)
And I love the idea of having a new toy set aside for Zoey, to aid in preoccupation. Of course, she already has more than she could ever need and Austen has a few already waiting for him... but shhhhhh, we will just keep that our secret
I can hear your excitement and I feel exactly the same.... only a few days left!!
