WOW! Thanks so much for all the response. I really appreciate it. I've heard something before about appeasing the alpha female first, like giving her the first treat, etc. but I'm worried that she'll become power hungry. Of course, she'll probably be that way anyway and if she's happy she won't torture Cooper. I'm making her sound worse than she is, I think. She can be very sweet, who can resist that precious Yorkie puppy face? I love her very much and her spunky little attitude makes her even more lovable (if it's not directed at Cooper, that is) I want to solve this issue soon because we have surgery coming up in about 6 weeks for Haley. She is stage 3 Luxating Patellas, her little knee caps sit on the outside of her knee joints instead of in the groves. I understand that she will have to be confined for several weeks while recovering and I'm afraid she'll freak out! So I don't want to crush her spunk because she'll need all she's got to get through the surgery. I'm putting pictures on this weekend of my babies. Thanks again, all your babies are so cute. |
