Hello everyone!

A few months ago I asked for advice here at this forum. I told you I was bringing a new puppy home, and I already had an eight year old labrador. 

Charlie is already 5 months old. When Max met Charlie he ignored him completely. But now Max and Charlie play all the time they are together.

Sometimes though, Charlie jumps on Max's face, or starts biting his ears and then Max gets a bit rough but doesn't hurt him. I consulted with a

trainer and she told me to allow Max to discipline the puppy so the little one learns his place. 

Sometimes, if I'm watching TV I'll let Max and Charlie sit next to me, and they behave really well. Charlie usually sleeps on top of Max. Max

doesn't seem to mind. They look so soooo cute together!  

These are Charlie and Max playing. Charlie plays dead and Max cleans the floor with him

 

 This is a rare picture of Charlie, where you can see his eyes! He is so cute and a sweetheart!

 

 Most of the time both want the same toy! even though there might be a few around...just like children!

 

 A rare peaceful moment...that lasted about 4 seconds!

Hi Griselda,

What an enjoyable Post. Love your Boys. It's great that hey have become good budiies!

Roger wants to get a companion for Bella, but I think she would not be very happy about that!! She likes being Top Dog!

Hello Ginger:

Thank you for your comments. Tomorrow is a big day for Charlie, he'll get neutered. Let's see how it goes. He can't play with Max for a while  until he is fully recovered. So today I allowed them to have more time together than usual and they got really tired. They also got new rope toys (the one that had survived didn't look or smell very good!). 

If Bella wants to be top dog she'll let the new dog know that. They'll work it out, that's what the trainer tells me. In our case Max keeps reminding Charlie that he's boss. We help with that a bit, by feeding Max first, and also by acknowledging him first.
