Kia is 9 and Chipper is 2. Kia tolerates Chipper but they haven't bonded at a level that I've seen other pairs of dogs at. Mostly Kia ignores Chipper, sleeps a lot, and keeps to herself. There are boughts of play here and there though but it's mostly just chasing and wrestling. No tug of war with toys or anything like that.

I know I've said that I got Chips as a companion for Kia, but honestly, we got Chips because we fell in love with him. Kia probably would of been just as happy as a solo dog.

All things considered, I hope things work out with you and Jack.
