Molly, you are indeed a very beautiful puppy with adorable eyes and a spirit that jumps right out of the picture at us! I also brought a puppy into my home with a much older dog. The puppy has been with us two years now and still doesn't quite get it that his older companion doesn't want to play, but he adores him anyway. We still have to get in the older dog's face, give him morning kisses he doesn't really want, and in general be a nuisance. But over time, I think my older dog has come to love his little companion and maybe that's what's kept him going. So take it easy on your older friend, Molly, but never give up trying to forge that friendship. Somehow, I don't think you will.
