There have been times when Baby will discipline Juicy. She has even growled and bit down on the back of Juicy's neck. Juicy will just stop what she is doing ( She's usually jumping on Babys face nipping) and stay put til Baby lets her go. Baby is not puncturing her just mouthing. They seem to like one another. I find them kissing and sharing chewy sticks together.
Treat Bailey with more love and attention . It really does work. We are both going through transition periods. Bailey and Baby are having to adjust and we need to reassure them with lots of love and attention. Good Luck!!!! |
Bailey is showing Tia who the top dog is. I would be cautious and not leave them unsupervised until Tia is bigger and able to handle herself.
Dreama was 4 when she came to us in February. Wosie was 8 months, (had been with us since August) and a pound smaller than Dreama. Yet Wose was the aggressor, and determined that Dreama know her place was second banana. Dreama would just as soon leave the Wose alone all of the time, and has learned that Wosie can't jump up on the beds and the furniture like she can, and now has an escape route on constant demand! I don't think they will ever be best buddies like my Angel and my Jasper were, but they are tentative friends. You watch! Someday Tia and Bailey will be sleeping together, playing with the same toys, and able to get along MOST of the time. It just takes time!
Good luck!
