It sounds like all of your suggestions are spot on Jo Ann. It doesn't happen overnight and they shouldn't expect it to. Gizmo has been an only child for a long time and it is not reasonable to think there wouldn't be a time of adjustment. Same would be for a skin kid who had been an only child for 10 years. I say advise them to be patient they will be adjusted to each other before you know it. You can't force it and always put Gizmo first in treats and attention so he doesn't feel threatened. |
