We got our newest Bentley 6 weeks ago and he was almost 1. As you can tell by my signature we have two other dogs. Our shih tzu is fine with him. Our other cavalier who will be 5 next month had a very hard time at first with this little fellow coming into her space. She wouldn't have anything to do with him. Finally after a couple weeks there were periodical play times and a few times that she would permit him to touch her--lol I might add that Bentley must know that she is kindling--another words of the same breed because he thinks she's pretty hot and is after her--wants to snuggle--wants to play etc. Well, my little snob princess Abbey who has been the queen of the house for 4 1/2 years is not as keen with him. There has been a VAST improvement in the last 6 weeks but I was really hoping that these two would be buddies etc. Am I expecting too much in 6 weeks or is this the way its going to be. Poor Bentley first thing in the a.m. after we let him out of crate runs up to her and Abbey growls at him--guess she needs her Starbucks first--lol. I'm making sure Abbey gets lots of attention so she doesn't feel neglected etc. Heck the first two weeks she was mad as heck at me who I am the primary love of her life. She wouldn't sit with me or nothing so again there has been a vast improvement but not as much as I'd like.
