We picked up Lucky on Saturday and introduced he and Toby at the dog park an hour or so later. They pretty much went their separate ways at the park! Toby takes off and Lucky is a little tenative. I am guessing he had never been in a dog park before! They sniffed each other a little - played together - played with others, etc. Toby seemed a little curious about Lucky coming with us but they never had any problems. I have a bit of a humping issue with them! They both want to be the alpha dog, I guess!
All in all, I couldn't ask for more, though. They get along very nicely. Lucky was a great traveller, almost never made a peep in his crate. Toby wasn't quite so happy in his crate, but did pretty well.
Of course, Lucky was very nervous, sniffing everything and such, but he seems to be settling in with us. He is even making himself comfortable, as we speak, on the dog bed that is Toby's!! (Toby is on a car ride with dad and unable to protest!!).
Toby is a little jealous of Lucky when it comes to me. I can tell he is worried that Lucky will get "his" attention. My husband and I are trying to give Toby some extra love and attention to reassure him! We also feed him first, leash him first, etc.
I am sure I have more to tell, but can't think of it right now! I was gone for 6 days and have company in town right now, so my mind is all over the place!!
Here are some pics taken since we picked up Lucky!
I thought I should add that the picture of the wrestling was "nice" wrestling! They seem to have rolling in the grass contests and end up wrestling around together. I take it as a good sign that it doesn't get mean.
Thank you for welcoming Lucky to BW with open arms!!!!
O.k., I feel bad...Lucky has taken over the good dog bed! I thought they might share it, as it is the big one, but instead Lucky has taken it over and Toby has moved to the crappy, smaller bed. Poor Toby, I don't feel like he should be giving up "his" bed.
