Re: Jackson and Pepper
Poor Pepper~ Our Chihuahua, Doree, still attacks Sibbie if she gets too close and it's been 9 months. But Doree has always been nasty. She's 12 and set in her ways. If she's in a bad mood, none of them can go near her and the boys are smart enough to leave her alone, but Sibbie still keeps trying and it gets pretty bad...I usually have to pick Sibbie up and hold her until Doree calms down. Doree has bitten me a couple of times when I try to separate them. She has back problems and is in pain a lot, so we really can't get mad at her...she doesn't want to be bothered by a puppy.
Jackson must have gotten used to having you all to himself and he might sense your missing V and feeling like only he can make you feel better. Maybe your husband or a neighbor can walk with you and take Pepper, so Jackson doesn't feel like he is not welcome on those walks. Whenever we introduced other dogs, we did it on walks.
Good luck, Shana...I hope it gets better.
