My Cousin Got a Puppy! [[12 Pictures!]]

Awwww cuteness alert!!!!!!

My mom talked to my cousin this morning or last night, Sassy has settled in pretty well and is doing great! I'm not sure if the plans are definate, but on Sunday we might go up to Silver Lake and bring the dogs. Hopefully Snowy will like her new cousin!

I'm a little worried about how Snowy will react, though. When she was just a puppy she was attacked by a bigger dog at the dog park, and since then she as been terrified of them. If a dog jumps on her or gets into her space she does snap occasionally. Does anyone have any tips on what to do? There has only been one large dog she has ever gotten along with, but even just a month ago the other dog got too close and Snowy snapped at her. If Snowy shows any aggresion towards Sassy we will definatley keep them apart, it isn't worth any of the dogs getting hurt. (Although Snowy has never bitten another dog when she is scared, I'm worried that it could happen with Sassy being a playful puppy and all)

Take it slowly, keep both Sassy and Snowy on leashes at first, and have them meet, say, out in the yard. Because the pup is so little yet, Snowy may be fine with her.

Thanks Karen. I'm hoping if they meet at the lake it would serve as neutral ground for them so then neither one of them is protective over it. Even if their first meeting is only 10 minutes or so, as long as it ends on good terms I'll be happy.
