[AbbyMax]

So Max has had all of his initial shots, but Abby will get her last one next week. I have been waiting to take them out or have friends bring their dogs over until they have both finished the first series. A little type A of me, but...that is me. On of my friends has a Yorkie about the same size as Max, but she is a doggie foster mom and did not really want to expose mine to the guest dogs yet. (Nothing wrong with the foster dogs - they are great, just not sure if they have any health issues.) My friends with dogs are great and completely understand my concern.

They have met several people and were around other dogs at the breeder so I am not really worried about socialization issues. However, they have not been around big dogs. My previous Yorkie got along great with all dogs, but she was with a larger one from day one. So, my plan is to have a friend with a large dog (lab) come over next weekend and have an introduction. Her dog is very well behaved and gentle but I know little dogs can be very scary for the larger dogs.

She offered to bring her dog over in her crate so they could meet each other safely. Since my pups crates are already here, I said just to bring the dog. If I put mine in their crate at first and let them sniff thru the crate for a while, and then let them out we should be okay. I will remove all toys and food (leave the water dish down).

Am I forgetting or missing anything? Oh, I have the camera at the ready always.
