Alright well Waffles has been home for only 3 days and already there are so many questions arising that I never would have though of beforehand. But here is a major question. When Waffles first came home she would sort of nip and jump and try to play with Sugar, but all Sugar would do is sniff her and kind of back away (she is not really that socialized with other dogs). Essentially Sugar just stood there and took it from Waffles.
But now I think the inital shock of Waffles has worn off of Sugar and when Waffles kind of nips at her ears or something Sugar will nip right back and give chase. She also growls when they are playing tug of war. Now this is all ok with me but the thing that worries me is that Sugar is SO MUCH bigger then Waffles. Sugar weighs 18-20 pounds and Waffles weighed in at a paltry 4.5 pounds today at the vets. So when Sugar kind of plays with Waffles she literally blows her over with her size. Its gotten to the point where I think she might be hurt, like Waffles will stop trying to play but sugar will want to keep playing. I dunno its kind of hard to explain but I was just wondering if there were any poeple/owners out there with a small puppy and a semi bigger dog and how they played together. Any info is greatly appreciated. THanks!
