I know that this has been her territory for a while and stuff, I am just concerned that she wont like him that much. I am just wondering if I have done the wrong thing by getting a new dog, or if she just needs time to get to know him. If anyone has any info or has been in this situation b4 please let me know. Any info will help. Should I be really worried? Thank you.

Honey- it takes time. One day she will wake up like " ohhhhhhh wow- lets play new dog.. lets play.." Just give her time. Remember to pet her first, feed her first, put the leash on her first, give cookies to HER first etc and she will figure out this little guy is not only not a threat but also so down right fun.. Just give her time. Maybe she knows she is so much bigger than he is, and not sure how to play yet- but she will figure it out. He will be mostly full grown by 6 and half months- and being a male she will see him more of a playmate. Just honor her position as the boss and there first, and remember- the puppy doesnt know she wont play with him yet- he is just a baby and learning allllll the ropes and rules of the house still.. You can give him a little one on one time as I am sure he has to go outside more than she does. Get out of sight like the side of the house and play with him a little more .. Its best if she goes out with you guys- sometimes a indoor dog might know not to play that much in the house- and taking them out together might help.
Just remember its cold here- ( not sure about your area) and they cant stay out too long..
Sounds like fun- and I cant wait to see pictures. My step son and soon to be wife, just got one. Theirs is black and tan and a total riot!! Soooooooo cute!!!
