[QUOTE="MamaBas, post: 2621865, member: 691264"] I think you may have approached this all wrong, with respect. 1. You only lost your previous dog last week and there's no doubt as dogs do grieve, that he is grieving still and adjusting to his new status as the only dog in the house. 2. The Husky b itch is recovering from her spay surgery, so probably not in the best state physically, to be coping with a new home and another dog. 3. You say you know nothing of her personal history - hum. Did the Shelter not do a temperament test on her, to find out a bit more abut her? I am actually more concerned about her biting humans, than her relationship with your current dog at the moment. Fact is, eventually the b itch is more likely to rule, as is usually the case so her attitude towards your boy could be expected. If you are prepared to allow a settling in/recovery from surgery period, all I can suggest is you'll have to keep them apart other than when you are right there to supervise what's going on. And feed them strictly apart too - food is a trigger. If she did come from a Shelter, I think you have to contact them and tell them the difficulties you are having and maybe taking her back, so she can perhaps go to a single-dog home, may be your best option. There's little point upsetting Oreo more than he is already after all!! [/QUOTE]
