I agree that it takes months for them to bond, but we did actually add a third to our "pack". Beauregarde, our poodle, was eight when we got Tyrone. Beau had lost his best friend and we wanted him to have another playmate.
When we got Ty he was a scruffy little scamp, and he and Beau played together well. Unfortunately, Tyrone did not stay "little" for long. He grew fast, and had so much energy and strength that Beauregarde could not keep up. Ty would not let him rest, so we brought baby Gus into the family to be Ty's playtime buddy. Beau plays along too, until he gets tired, then goes off to nap.
It is now three years later, and they are totally bonded friends. They spend their time cuddled together in a single dog bed by the garage door whenever we go out, and all three share our bed at night.
Welcome to Yorkie Talk, and we all hope to learn more about you and your furbabies! |
