Sasha and Oscar

Post by mikegoodson1 »

Sasha (8 weeks old) came home Sunday lunchtime and has settled in really well - she loves Oscar (our 2 year old boy mini) and follows him around everywhere, she clearly looks up to him already.

However he isn't that impressed at present. He see's her as a bit of an irritant and generally walks away from her. Today I think he is a little better and now lets her approach him and has started sniffing around her too but he barks at her now and again, it seems like a playful bark rather than an aggressive bark (if that makes sense). Sasha stands up for herself and is also good at being submissive (laying on her back showing her tummy) so I think that helps the situation.

It's only the first full day and so I hope he learns to love her like we do - she certainly loves him.

A couple of snaps of her below.

Sasha looks very sweet. I am sure that Oscar will come to love her too. It is still early days and Oscar will gradually realise that she can be a best friend and playmate. The size difference can be a bit scary for the older dog and things will be better when Sasha is bigger and Oscar can play with her on more equal terms.

Fun times ahead for you all :)

Thanks so much for the comments, I cannot believe how tiny she is either, it's hard to believe Oscar was ever that small but he was ;-)

I have noticed that Sasha likes to nip your chin/nose but we have plenty of teething toys to quickly use as replacements.
