's message, "Adding a new peke to the household" on 07:58:36 05/16/07 Wed
Hi - I know this is a late response, so you probably have added a new addition to your family. I'll share my experience with you... I've had pekes for 25 years. My first one lived to be 13 and passed on to Rainbow Bridge 12 years ago. My oldest is now 11. When she was 3, I got a male puppy. She was NOT happy at all because she was the spoiled little princess getting all the attention. She basically did not speak to me for probably a month, she wouldn't even stay in the same room with me, which broke my heart. She eventually warmed up to my new baby I think because he was playing with her toys, and she wanted them, and next thing you knew, they would be playing with them together, and then they would be wresling on the floor together. A year later, I got another peke, who is now 7. Well, again, I went through the "no speaking to me for about a month, only this time, it was both of my other two not "speaking" to me, and leaving the room when me or the new puppy would come into the room. It was heartbreaking. Of course, now they are the best of friends and if one of them gets to go somewhere (like the vet, because I can't handle all of them at one time) they get upset because they can't all go on a trip together (little do they know it wouldn't be a fun trip to the vet) and because they miss their brother or sister, or if I'm going on vaction and I will switch off and one of them will go with me and the other two will go to a family members, the one that is left behind for a couple hours really mourns the others because he/she misses them. So basically, I think it is good for doggies to have a doggie companion, especially if the human owners work. Then they have someone to keep them company during the day.
Email if you ever want to share stories about your pekes. I am a big animal lover and love to hear stories of others experiences.
