Hi everyone! We are so lucky to have gotten our Gabby today!

She's doing great, my situation is unclear because of our almost 4 yr. old yorkie boy, Skippy. We started out by giving gabs a bath, then brought Skippy down after a while and she was in her crate with the door closed when they met. We gradually have gotten her out of the crate to walk around the house and he wants to follow her everywhere-drooling like a faucet the whole time. The only time he has a problem is when she wants to snuggle with someone - he starts barking and growling at her. This is when I pull him back with the leash and take him to another room for 15-20 seconds and tell him to settle down, then we do the process all over again. Any suggestions on what to do when he does this? how long will it take for him to get used to her? I have 7 days off work to help with the transition.

When I added Pixie to our household last January she was 13 months old, my 10 year old pom didn't seem bothered by her. But Cali my 1 1/2 year old Yorkie was pretty mad with us. It took several weeks before Cali really would have anything to do with her. Just give them time to adjust to each other and give Skibby extra attention. Most dogs learn to accept the new one and become best friends. Congratulations!!!

Congrats on the addition. Can't wait to see pix of the 2 of them together. Time will make them best friends. His reaction is natural.
