As you can see, Bentley's not worried about his new sister at all.
I get to pick up new, toeless pup tomorrow! I’m very excited. I’ve thought of Bella, Betsy & Bambi for possible names. Bambi is probably out-yuck. I’m hoping for a name that sounds nice & fits her personality, but also one that sounds like she’s a cohesive team with Bentley. Bentley & Bella. Bentley & Betsy. Bentley & Bambi. Hmmm….We’ll see.
I am not taking Bentley with me to pick her up. It’s a 30 mile truck ride back home, so I don’t want to risk it with them two playing or worse in the back seat, since she just had surgery today. When we get back, I want to re-introduce them away from the house & then walk them for a little while, before bringing them into the house together. Unfortunately, the weather is nasty right now & isn’t suppose to be any better tomorrow. It’s suppose to be in the 30’s & snowing. I can dress for the occassion, but I don’t want her getting her incision wet & dirty & I don’t know how easily she can walk in wet, slippery weather. Not to mention the coldness on her foot. We’ll find a way to make it work though. I want to do everything right, so they start off on the right foot with each other. Will update soon.
Oh we can’t wait to hear the name of the toeless puppy! How exciting for you.
Hey where are you guys? We are getting snow here tonight too!
Good luck tomorrow, we want to see pictures.
Thanks. We’re in Wyoming, in Lander. The snow turned out to be fraudulent, lol. We got a trace, but it was melted when the sun came out. Above 7000 feet got a lot of snow though. Were are you guys located? Did you get much snow?
Wow, thank goodness I live where we’re safe from snow – Wisconsin! Haha, well for now. (Yoda is not a fan of cold weather and not impressed by snow either).
Yoda had to meet one of his former doggy roommates on a snowy winter day and we made it too close to the house it seemed, and surely the leashes didn’t help. They had a scuffle (not playing!). We monitored them closely for a while though and they did fine together in the end. They never became best buds, but both seem to prefer having the other around rather than no one at all. But then, they’re two macho boys, so I should have anticipated the higher potential for a rocky start.
Sounds like you’ve got a good plan for B & B’s intro and the fact that they’re boy and a girl will probably help.
Be friendly to your new sister, Bent! She can be your best buddy, if you let her.
Yay! Bentley’s getting a sister!!
Good luck today!!! Can’t wait to see pictures and hear the new name 🙂
