So we've had our gorgeous boy for around 18 months now, and have gradually come round to the idea that perhaps he would be happier with a buddy.
Our local rescue have just got in a stunning younger boy who I went to meet this morning. It's safe to say it was love at first sight! Where Daffs was quite aloof during our early meetings, the new boy started off quite shy but was soon playing with me in the yard (something the staff were surprised by as apparently he doesn't play with them) and even came to call... although I'm pretty sure that was just fluke! Plenty of cuddles and licks later, I trundled home with a Cheshire cat grin on my face having booked in a meet and greet with OH and Daffs for the weekend.
But now the worries are kicking in. What if Daffs hates the new boy? What if they don't get on once they're home? Any tips for a smooth introduction or reassurance that it'll all be ok?
