They're not quite sleeping together just yet. I think with Gucci's persistence, we may get there though. It seems odd to me that the much older, 1/2 the weight, longer term resident dog is more accepting of the two. Zippy, our new addition, has no interest in Gucci. Zippy is very focused on his "people" though and he has the sweetest disposition with us. LOL it's like he tolerates Gucci sitting on him because in the two tiffs they have had, Gucci was the clear winner! LOL I don't know how that happened! LOL
The last tiff, Gucci somehow had himself attached to Zippy. Zippy, trying to get away from the little devil, drug Gucci down the hall way. I turned around just in time to see Gucci's rear legs sliding on the carpet. It was very apparent, Gucci won the battle though and was very proud to have done so. Zippy recovered quickly but remains cautious of Gucci. It's like the best we could have hoped for, that the 5 pounder established dominance over the 10 pounder "ONLY WHEN" the 10 pounder makes a fuss about being sat on or next to by Gucci. Gucci remains very positively interested in the new guy. Never showing any aggression unless first acted upon negatively by Zippy.
Dominance, sure, by sitting on him.... but it's passive...non violent or vocal unless Zippy protests.
PS... Due to Gucci's shortage of good teeth and jaw strength, there is no way that Gucci could hurt Zippy.
