My little 3 pounder Jilly, who was my second Yorkie, just hated my regular-sized Yorkie pup I got to keep her company during the day while I was at work. Teddy was smaller than Jilly when I first got her but as she grew, she outsized Jilly very quickly and Jilly turned off, prefering to live her life solely on the back of the den couch and growing into a nervour wreck. I finally after trying everything all of the experts recommended, had to find Teddy another home. We hadn't had Teddy that long and it broke my heart to have to rehome her but my baby Jilly was descending into her own private hell, chewing out her hair, failing to eat, losing weight and growling every time Teddy even walked close to the couch whose back she lived on. And Jilly could not be coaxed off the back of the couch! She just laid there and brooded. It was heartbreaking for all of us but I could not see Jilly make herself sick anymore and found Teddy a wonderful home. From the moment the couple left with Teddy, Jilly began to live her life again - came down from the back of the couch, ate, slept and resumed her regular life, gained back her weight and was a happy camper once again! Didn't work for my little prima donna but it does for most. Most Yorkie LOVE other dogs. I know Tibbe would LOVE another dog in this house.
