Should I do it???? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I got baby Maggie when Buster was 11 months old. They still fight and are very jealous of each other. Not quite sure what to do about it. I try to give both of them the same amount of attention but Buster has learned to jump in my lap first. Maggie learned a lot from Buster but it is sad to see her sitting by herself, I usually go get her and bring to sit in my lap with Buster. Although if I do that Buster will usually leave. I did not think Buster would be so jealous. I thought he would want a "friend" to play with all day while I am at work. Buster is very attached to me, whatever room I am in, that is where he is. If I am cleaning the house, he is where he can watch me at all times. I love Maggie and would never consider finding another home for her as I have been advised to do. They will have to learn to eventually get along.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about this. Rily loves me like that too. But, I believe he will be fine because we already had another dog when we got him. My children (3) also have yorkies and Rily gets along very well with all of them, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed....but only time will tell!

Go for it! Although Buster & Maggie still are not "best friends", I think they would be sad if the other one went away. When one of them needs to go the vet, I usually have to take both of them. I wanted to walk them separately as Buster has had training and Maggie has not, she cries and whimpers and my husband will call me to come back and get her. They sometimes cuddle. I think the older Maggie gets, the better it will get. They have good days and bad days but when they are having a good day...it's too much fun!!!
