My puppy Baloo is the same way. I noticed it during our Petsmart training classes, all the dogs get a little romp time in before training and he'll play with them for about 5 minutes and then just sit next to the nearest person. I think the biggest problem with him though is that three of the dogs are big and there is one other yorkie there. He loves to play with the yorkie but again for only about 3 minutes and then he wants other owners to pet him. My hubby and I are looking into getting another yorkie sometime early next year and I'm hoping Baloo doesn't get tired of the puppy too fast since they will be spending all day together at home

As to the original post, I had cats that were the same way, of course they're not the same as dogs entirely but they act the same when introducing new pets. Tom was my cat and he didn't have playmates growing up, when he was about 7 or 8 years old we got Kai (both cats are boys), for the longest time we thought they hated each other, mainly Tom, he seemed to want nothing to do with Kai. Then my mom watched them from the kitchen while they were in the living room and come to find out Tom would only play with the other cat when no one else was in the room! lol
It was hilarious watching Tom walk away from playing when someone stepped into the room...he just loved to act like he was king and in charge and would never stoop to playing with another cat!!!
I'm hoping your babies will do great with each other one day!!! Cause I'm sure come next year I'll be trying to figure all this out! Best Wishes!
