Thank you so much for the information. We did end up bringing home the new pup at the meeting today. He is adorable, 7 months old. But not trained at all. I am nervous with the fact that he is 7 months and not even potty trained. We also found out that the previous owner did not keep him on a specific food. We went out and bought puppy food the same brand as Chloe eats (but the puppy version) but I don't know how he is going to react to it. We can tell Lou didn't get a whole lot of attention with his previous owner because he is a cuddler! If anyone has tips on this stuff, it would be appreciated!
Oh yeah and to make things a little more difficult, we think Chloe had pulled a muscle in her left front leg a couple days ago. We had her take it easy and she seemed just fine today until we brought her home with Lou and the playing would not stop. Chloe is now limping again and we're not sure how to keep her calm when they both want to play.
So far the two dogs have been doing well together. Playing, playing, napping, playing, playing! Chloe is pretty confused as to why Lou has not gone home yet! It's hard to explain to a dog that this IS the new dogs home!
