I believe our son Isaiah has learned many great lessons from the way we have taught him to treat Georgie and our Boxer Coco for that matter. With Georgie especially Isaiah has learned to keep his voice lower and communicate with Georgie what he is doing i.e. Hi Georgie I am going to pet you. He also knows to make sure Georgie sees his hand as he goes to pet him. We just had another lesson in this yesterday. We got Georgie 2 1/2 years before we had Isaiah so we didn't bring him in a house with small children but we have all learned to coexist and love each other. Again, Georgie will never be Isaiah's playmate we won't allow it he is to small but little things like letting him pet Georgie and hold Georgie as we sit right next to him makes Isaiah feel good and helps Georgie get used to him. It also helps Isaiah to understand how delicate Georgie is so unless one of us is right there Isaiah doesn't bother Georgie. Isaiah has never gotten upset he understands, and we make sure we make him feel like he is so awesome for being so sweet to Georgie and following our directions.
PS YES it's been 4 years so if you don't have patience Yorkies are not the furbaby for you! |
I think this is beautiful!! Gives me hope that if I ever have kids it can work. But I know it will be all up to me to have my babies coexhist together beautifully like you have.
