Congrats on your new baby!!
We just went through this a couple of weeks ago...we brought our little Sophie home and I was
so fearful that Topher would be upset. He has been my shadow since February and we had quite a nice little routine down....oh, I was so nervous that he would be upset.
Well, perhaps we've just been lucky or perhaps we did something right..lol...maybe it's a combination of the two, I don't know, but it's been a wonderful experience thus far and getting the second yorkie has been the
BEST experience. When we went to get the puppy, we took Topher with us 'cause we really didn't have a choice..I actually think it was a good thing, because neither my husband nor myself were the ones bringing the new pup INTO our home...we were all doing it together. I'd heard before that the older pup might resent the person bringing in the new pup (not sure if it's true, but it does make sense!)
We haven't done anything special...really...but there is one thing that we are doing and that's making sure that Topher is the first to get the treats, etc. We really make an effort to ensure that he's getting enough attention. If I pick up Sophie for a snuggle, I pick up Topher, too. What one gets...the other gets. Basically, just as if they were children!
I've also tried to take a little bit of time each day for just Topher and I...just so that he knows he's still mom's boy. Funny thing is...when we've done this he's always ended up going and looking for Sophie...lol.
I also made sure that Sophie had her own toys, blankie, etc. I didn't want Topher to think that the new little one was taking over his things. They will decide when they want to share...or if they want to!
I hope things go well for you. Just relax and enjoy. They might have a few rough moments, but they'll hopefully be few and far between. If they do seem to not like one another, I don't think that you need worry that it'll last...after a few weeks it'll be like there were always two and they'll grow to love one another.
I'm NOT an expert, but if you need any suggestions or help, just pm me and I'll help as much as I can.
Again...congrats on your new baby~~~HOW EXCITING!!!
