I have two also. I adopted Tia at 10 weeks when Ally was a little over a year old. Ally is not quite 13 months older than Tia. I had a pekingese that was old and sick and knew she would pass soon and knew it would affect Ally. Ally looked at me to entertain her and was super active. Ally changed her habits drastically once Tia came home. I was so upset that Ally changed (sitting with me, hyper, fetching toys, etc.), that I almost regretted getting Tia as a playmate. Tia was supposed to be Ally's size so she wouldn't get hurt. She is just over 3 lbs and I never thought of her as small......until Tia started growing and growing! lol I do have to watch them because I am afraid Ally will get hurt. (Tia accidently bumped Ally off the couch and she went into shock, which was terrifying!) Tia just turned two years old and is twice Ally's size. Tia is dominating; Ally is very submissive. Two very different girls.....but I love them both!!!! I wouldn't change a thing.... Ally loves to play with Tia and they are best friends. I could not leave one at home without the other. I loved to take Ally places, but can no longer do that unless someone is home to watch the other one. Both girls love to cuddle with me; one on each side of me. Ally will sometimes come to me for piece and quiet because 'hyper' little sister is trying to play and she doesn't want to! They do love each other! |
