both your pups sure are dolls, I see Oliver's ears stood up. Glad to hear progress is being made. I wanted to add that I had a friend who's female yorkie was also terrified of the new puppy, she would not even come in the room that the puppy was in. But after several months they have gotten quite close and she is now comfortable in close quarters with the younger dog. The situation you have is much better than what happened to me. I had an aggressive male who did not like other dogs at all. Against everyone's advice I brought a puppy home when my male was about 2, it did not work at all, the older dog was either mean to me or the puppy or he just stayed under the bed. After about 8 months I felt no one was happy and rehomed the puppy. But situations like yours where the older dog is timid not mean seem to work themselves out within a few months. Good luck and PLEASE hang around more and continue to post more photos of your babies. |
