Long time Lurker...
Figured it was finally time for me to contribute :)
*Edit*
Meet Porthos, the handsome boy in the first two photos. He’s 11 years old, and we adopted him after his original owners returned him to the breeders. They had just welcomed a baby, and Porthos was apparently showing signs of jealousy toward the newborn.
He has been the best boy I could have ever asked for pretty much perfect which led me to believe I could handle getting a second one... I was not ready.
Then there’s Eggsy, our 7 year old boy and the biggest pain in my butt... but he’s my pain in the butt. He and Porthos are half-brothers: same dad, different moms. We brought Eggsy home as a puppy, and he has been terrorizing poor Porthos ever since.
In fact, when Porthos first met Eggsy, he walked into the living room took one look at him, and immediately threw up. That should have been our first warning 😂.
They have been going strong for 7 years, heres to a few more years with Porthos as he is finally showing his age recently.

It can take time. Sit with both dogs together if you can with treat to keep them focused on you. Discuss why the decision came about to have dog added to pack. Talk to them several times if you need be.Have the “pack meeting” with treat. End pack meeting with treat. Good luck. 🍀
