New Puppy

We got a new puppy, we picked him up today. Otto.

Back when we got Bruno, it went really smoothly with Buddy. There was one growl from Bud and that was it, not long after they were playing tug of rope together and they were mates from then on. Buddy was always chilled out with Bruno. Buddy was older than Bruno is now.

Bruno was 12 weeks when we got him.

We have dog-sat other dogs, but they have always been adults, and they have always been girls, and Bruno has always been really calm with them.

And, of course, I know dogs are all different, I kind of hoped it would go smoothly with Bruno and Otto, but it hasn't gone so smoothly.

Bruno has been super hyped up over Otto. He tries to hump Otto if we don't intervene and hold him back and he is at him so intensely. And Otto is young, 8 weeks, the youngest puppy we've had, so he is small, and relatively fragile just at the moment compared to Bruno. 

So, let's hope it is just a matter of Bruno getting used to him. And let's hope it only takes, you know, until tomorrow. Ha ha. Cross your fingers. I hope he calms down soon.
