lovestiny, Zeusy hated him. I'm not sure if that was another dog being there, or the fact that the dog was bullying him (i.e., knocking him down, making him run from him, running him against the furniture [all of this due to the puppy being bigger -- I don't believe it was intentional]). It was a disaster nonetheless. My neighbors have Zeusy's nephew, and they play together well at our house. Yorkiemom1, my husband is convinced Zeusy is lonely. I would be happy with the status quo, but I'm being outvoted. My son hates that Zeusy is "my dog," so the two of them outvoted me. Hope it is the right decision. Thanks for your input.
