I have 3 yorkies. The first one, Alyssa, was an only child for 3 years. Her job in her mind was to protect the house and protect mommy. She was my constant shadow. We played together, slept together, and went everywhere together. I was working all day M-F and feeling guilty that she had to stay home alone. I always left the tv on for her. She had full run of the house. We decided to get her a sister. She hated Emmy. She wanted nothing to do with her. She liked her life as mommies only little girl. If Emmy came close to her she would growl. She actually did a lot of growling to put Emmy in her place. Both girls were alpha dogs. After about 6 months they finally got to the point where they could tolerate each other. They seldom played together and it was like to dogs that were only children. They seldom interacted with each other. In March of this year a situation came up where I could get a tiny yorkie for my birthday. My husband did not want to go shopping for me so he said I could have her. To make a long story short. Emmy and Lucy bonded with each other immediately. They love each other and play together and sleep together. Alyssa continues on guarding the house and mommy. She gets to be the only child and interacts and plays with me. Everyone is now happy.

Thank you for your words of wisdom! I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much :) I feel that Daisy will always be my number one bby, with Bear as a close second of course! Hopefully she'll at least tolerate him eventually, but from what everyone else has said, it's just going to take a lot of time. Daisy is definitely an alpha dog&I doubt she's going to give that up anytime soon.
