Butter is my four-and-a-half-year-old shih tzu. For most of his life he was the only dog in our Sukhumvit apartment, which made him very confident about who runs the place. Then last month we brought home Biscuit, a tiny puppy from a shelter outside Bangkok, and Butter looked at me like I had betrayed him.
The first few days were tense. Butter sulked on the sofa and growled whenever the puppy got too close to his water bowl. I put a baby gate across the bedroom door so they could both have a break, and I kept their walks separate for the first week.
By the second week, Butter let Biscuit sniff his ears and even chase him down the corridor. Now the puppy follows him everywhere, and Butter pretends to be annoyed about it, which is the funniest part.
My advice: give the older one space and time. Our living room is chaos now, but it is good chaos.

Butter ist so süß! Ich verstehe ihn total, wenn plötzlich ein Welpe kommt. Gib ihm am Anfang extra Zeit alleine, dann beruhigt er sich schneller.

Thanks for the story! Dollar also had a rough start with the new puppy, so I think you are doing great.

Sorry but I think two dogs together at the start is too much. I would give Butter his own room for a while and feed them separately. Then slowly bring them together.
Is your building on Sukhumvit 11? I want to know if they allow 2 dogs there.
