Thanks for your concern. I read that post earlier today and it was horrible - I cannot imagine that happening to one of my babies. I am so glad the Yorkie is getting better.
My friends lab is smaller than normal - only about 35 pounds. I know accidents can happen and fortunately we are both Type A's. I would never leave my dogs with another dog without a person I trusted with them.
When we introduced her lab to my previous Yorkie, all went well. She had her dog lie down and let Poppy go to her. Poppy sniffed around her for a bit and then laid down in front of the lab belly up - two non-dominant dogs together!
We used to go for walks together all the time. After the walk, they used to lie down together. In fairness, Poppy was about 8 years old at the time. They did play together sometimes and about the worse thing that happened was when the Lab licked Poppy and she almost fell over. You should have seen the look on Poppy's face - what the heck was that! The lab loves to lick.
Her dog has been around several puppies in the past few months (it has been puppy and baby season at work lately) and does really well. The last puppy she was with was very hyper. She put up with her for awhile and when she got tired of the puppy she went into her crate and laid down. |
