Perry's Mum Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Everything is ready. Intros will be tomorrow morning although Perry knows that something is up. I will be smuggling Friskie into the main bathroom tonight and they can meet in the garden tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry's Mum Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well we did the walking around at a distance thing. Perry's reaction was to look very friendly and then dart forward and bite Friskie on the nose. Friskie was happy to be friends. We spent the morning inside cuddling and left Perry on her own in the garden. Now I am bringing Perry inside and Friskie and I will be out in the sun for a while.

BC Crazy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What an awful morning you have had Perry's mum :laugh: Cuddling up to your new girl. Perry will come around I think. Sending some friendly vibes Perry's way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertie Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 That Perry decides soon that Friskie will be a bonus. Not funny, but your description of Perry's dart made me :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry's Mum Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think Perry is protecting her possessions - i.e. me. Fortunately I have plenty of time and can divide the house in two. Friskie is lovely to cuddle whereas Perry has never been a cuddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry's Mum Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Lots - she is a really affectionate dog and I am sure that Perry will get used to her in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Friskie sounds lovely, here's hoping perry thinks so too soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Actually i wouldn't be giving Friskie so much attention, Perry will just get more jealous. I would be ignoring them both and continueing with my normal routine with them seperate for now but able to see each other. Don't let Perrys routine be upset ,keep everything as normal as you can.

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes, the best advice I was given by a behaviouralist (I have new dogs arriving constantly as a rescuer) is to ignore them for 2 weeks, just let them settle. Don't take them out to lots of places and don't have lots of people over. Just keep to normal routine and don't give the dog too much attention at all ... I know it's hard but I've def. found it is a good strategy - it's to allow to dog to settle, she's had a lot going on - the trip and now Perry not giving her the best welcome. Just allow everyone to settle .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes, let them settle AND do your best NOT to be anxious or stressed about Perry's reactions - that will cue him even more to defend you against the "intruder dog". So relax as much as possible and don't make a fuss about your new addition, I'm sure they will soon be bestest friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry's Mum Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 We had a nice quiet day today reading the paper in the sun - all 3 of us - Perry was relieved to find that Friskie is not at all interested in Perry's ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
