DH and his best friend ... My dh and his best friend are telling that if I get another fur kid that Mrs Beasley will grieve herself to death. Any truth to that? Please let me know your thoughts, opinions, and/or experience. Some times they are just messing with me because they know I worry about Mrs. Beasley. She will be 11 in February. |
Well Jan you already know my answer to this! Lol. I think she would adjust. And she HAS been around Sassy! I think you need to do what you think is best for you and Mrs B! |
I think that's a little...excessive, lol. It depends though. How is she when you pay attention to other dogs? I'm assuming you'd want another dog. Growing up, our older dogs always did just fine with younger ones. We never had puppies, but after a week and the novelty wore off, everyone was fine. :) |
Rhonda I agree with you. I think they gang up on me when I am getting close to trying to adopt. :( |

Did you find one you are wanting to adopt? |

I have always been a one pet at a time kinda person. But Yorkies are different, they capture your heart unlike any other. I want another one. Mrs. Beasley wants all of my attention. But she fusses and then settles down around dh's bloodhound. She s the same way around my son and daughter in law's yorkie. |
I think some dogs are simply meant to be only dogs and not necessarily because of aggression. Callie loves my moms dog Sammy but at the end of the day she is ready for him to go home and have everything to herself. I don't know if I can explain it well but I know she is happier an only dog. She is so very attached to me that I think it would hurt her for me to give attention all the time to another dog and love them as much as I do her. |

Just had a thought ... I wonder if this is so hard for me because I had an only child. I wanted more children, but was only able to have one. God blessed me with two step-children later in life. They were one grad ahead and one grade behind my daughter. |

Jan, my Sugar was( in my opinion) destined to be an only dog. She HATED other dogs! Growled and snapped and hid around them until she really got to know them. I really WANTED another dog. But I was scared to death!! Jadabug contacted me when I was on vacation in Belize and told me she found the perfect pup for me. I fell in love at first sight!! But I was still scared out of my mind. What if sugar hated her? What If sugar hated ME? What if I didn't like having 2? Long story short.... Sugar and Curri became sisters almost instantly. I know this isn't typical. But they complete each other. Sugar was 5 1/2 and Curri was 6 months old. They are rarely more than 3" ( yes INCHES) away from each other...... If you want another dog.... I say go for it. Mrs B might be wondering what took you so damn long :D |
I think that the best indicator is how your current dog is around other dogs. I do know that many find that bringing in a younger dog with the senior dog, rejuvenates the older dog. As you are not dealing with un-neutered dogs I won't give advise vs a vs that arena. And last I suppose I am more inclined to male/female pairs in the hopes of avoiding and problems. Two female Yorkies - I have heard ,but again especially with un-spayed gals can have some problems. |

Thank you Lisa. Mrs. Beasley is ok with the dogs she is around - after she warms up to them. She is in good health and I think she would enjoy the company. (Well as long as she gets to sit closest to Momma) |

I am thinking Mrs. Beasley will adjust. She fusses at my husbands Bloodhound, Lowa. But she also loves going outside and playing with her. She just doesn't want me to pet Lowa. Now I can pet Lowa and sweet talk Mrs. B and shelf fine. LOL |
I have two females...Jersey is 6mths and Raelle will be 2 in March. They have their spats, but on the whole they get along well. The only real problem I had was Jersey unpotty training Raelle :eek:! We had to start all over again with all three pups!! Jersey figured out if I didn't find a puddle all was well...she and Raelle were using my couch as a potty...so now no pup is allowed up on the couch unless invited and I could keep an eagle eye on both! Orion still goes potty only outside, thank goodnes for that! They all play together albeit rough at times, and keep each other company. It took about a month for Raelle to accept that Jersey was here to stay...Orion, it was love at first sight... Yorkies for me, you can never have just one...after Raelle, I had to have another, and another...trying to convince fiance to let me get a fourth! LOL! |

Sugar has been barking in the middle of the night. It's her I NEED HELP bark. Of course I get up to check on her, which causes Curri to follow me...... As soon as Curri is out of the bed Sugar races as fast as she can and lays right next to my spot- effectively blocking Curri :rolleyes: she always forgets that Curri isn't afraid to lay directly ON TOP of Sugar...... |
I guess you know your dog the best and how well she gets along with other dogs. Some older dogs will perk up when a younger one is around while others can't take the change. They all have their particular personalities and habits. |
