I nearly had to pin the puppy down! lol of course i didnt i just massaged his shoulders and confined him to the other sofa whilst Lola laid on a cushion on the other sofa eyeing each other up lol any sudden movement and the other thought it was play time once again.

that is the only thing i would say...we did an experiment to see if they would tire each other out if we just left them together and they don't. Play play play, can get quite vocal and in the end we have to seperate them for time out. They are both as bad as each other!!!

I think when they are older the puppy will be alot calmer as is a whippet and wont be jumping all over Lola 24 -7. When i have his recall good and they are out together i hope then they will wear each other out.

Realistically we are looking at another 6 months before we get to this stage.

Have you thought about a rescue that is 1-2 years old that way you might miss that bit!
