I think a lot of older dogs see puppies as some kind of alien life form! And something else I find strange: When adding to my pack, I didn't know it but Peek has a color preference. He really relates to Sapphire, who is black and gold like him, but he ignores (for the most part) Tink who is silver and Infinity the Biewer. In all, they get along, but we do have an occassional argument here and there.
I'm so sorry this puppy didn't work out for you.... but do keep trying, as long as Sophie Kate is not so adversely affected by the new dog. Be sure to give her more attention than any newcomer, and treat her when she behaves well in the pressence of a new dog. |
