Miss Mia is a pistol, I am litter box training (doggie litter box and pads inside them) I have a litter box in her x-pen, and right now 1 in every room. This is working well for us.
At night Miss Mia is put in her pen and goes in to her kennel (door open) no problems.
Now to the problem, Miss Mini is not jealous of Miss Mia, but she is totally passive and seems to want nothing to do with her. Miss Mia however, wants Miss Mini's attn. She flys through the house when out of her pen and constantly nips at Miss Mini's face, she does NOT bite her put seems to be trying to entice her to play...Miss Mini will not have it and does not even growl at her. Miss Mini wants to always be able to see "the baby" and when Mia crys to get out of the pen Miss Mini *tells* me to let her out! While she always has one eye on her and always wags her little but with happiness when I take her out she totally snubs her.
Is this normal? I always put Miss Mini first, feed them seperately, I don't know what to do to make this easy for Miss Mini and feel bad for Miss Mia.
Miss Mini had a major eye defect at birth and when she was 14 weeks old she had major surgery on her eye, and was not able to be socialized for several weeks, for obvious reasons. Soon after when she was 9 mos. she had to have major hip and leg surgery for Leggs Parthe...so again...laid up for some time. Basically she was never socialized.
With that said Miss Mini has a very sweet personality and is very loving, laid back and not pretentious! She is spoiled but doesn't know it! She is not at all aggressive.
Any advice all? Sorry for all the details but trying to paint a clear picture here!
Thank You

I PROMSIE give it at least 30 days and you will see a difference! Roscoe was not into Sukie much at all and wanted nothing to do with her within two weeks he got over growling and whining and loved her so much! Now they are best buds and he is SO protective over her! I felt at first I couldn't bond with her because I didn't want him to be angry with me but as soon as he accepted her it was like no one could have anything to do with her but me and him because she was "ours"
Just give it time she is probably really jealous just keep making sure to put her first. Oh also another thing is try taking your first baby on walks first in the morning and then bring the puppy along on another walk if possible. This helps them feel so special. If anything just keep putting your older baby first and always give her treat, brush her, and so on and she will learn that even though there is someone new she is still important and the "pack leader".
Good Luck!!!
Two is SO much fun and just overall amazing!
