Thank you all for your advice. I am so anxious for him to start to come around. I've just coddled and loved him for the first few days - I'm thinking I will start to treat him like I treat my other dogs (wow, big difference - they're spoiled and loved to death

) I think if he sees me interact with Archie & Abbey (maltese) he'll eventually want to join in. I did see Abbey trying to get him to play tonight - and guess what - Tinker seemed alittle interested. He hasn't been interested in anything except dinner so far!!!! It's a start
