Hi, new here, I have lurked awhile and decided to jump in.

I am owned by a 13 year old, a 6 year old and a 10 week old males Yorkies. The 6 year old, Scooter is a "15 lb teapot" and is very sweet but uncomfortable around the new puppy, Scooter just loves the 13 year old Cidney. I got the 10 week old two weeks ago and Scooter is afraid of him!!!

I dont know if Sam, the puppy is just being a puppy, he is VERY playful and has LOTS of energy. He will run and try to jump up on Scooter and when he is successful, he will bite Scooter and hang on. Scooter hates this, doesnt see it as playing and has decide to live on the back of the couch or on the bed because Sam can not get up there yet. I can tell Scooter is unhappy and sad about Sam and I each time I say "no" to Sam, Scooter thinks I am getting on to him making Scooter even more nervous. I am hoping Sam is just being a puppy and will stop doing this as Scooter is not the type to get tough with Sam to make him stop. I hope I dont have a bully in the making!
