I just brought home my new baby Mango and my older female, Spanky (11 years), keeps snapping and growling at her.

I am so surprised. Until a few months ago she was used to having another Yorkie around whom she totally loved. His name was Tigger and when he died, she went into a total depression for weeks.

She has been fine now, eating better, etc.

She has never been aggressive, always sweet natured and friendly, just a lovable little bear.

Any advice on getting her to love our new little 10- week old baby??? I am keeping tiny Mango seperated in a pen which is with us in the Family room. Spanky roams freely as always..

PLEASE HELP! I am so upset at Spanky's reaction. All the puppy wants to do is play with her.... it's too sweet.
