i sometimes feel bad coz the other one just watches... do you think this has the possibility of depressing the other dog??
wouldnt we love to get into the heads of our dogs

i think if he just sits there and watches it may very well be what he likes to do, I would spend an equal amount of time with both, they will know you are not favoring one or the other, I was worried about getting a second Maltese because Sampson is very jealous if other dogs or even people get too close to me, if he see me and my wife kiss he is on my lap in a second and between us

but when we got Maggie it took a couple of months for them to get used to each other, Maggie would irratate Sampson bad, he is very mellow and laid back like me and Maggie always wanted to play, but after a while they came to understand each other, Maggie will leave Samspon alone when he wants and Sampson will play with Maggie "most of the time" when she wants, after almost a year now they are inseperable, best buds, I'm glad we did it, once my wife gets out of college next year, we may get a third one
