Billy Shakespeare Meets His Family

Billy Shakespeare's first day was not actually about making friends.  His introduction to the girls, Dottie Belle, Gypsy and Honey Bunny was not very impressive.  He immediately rear-up at them to show his dominance and they knocked him on his little buckling butt.

Therefore, I didn't think it was safe to leave him with them.  They could lay down on him and kill him.  Then I took him to the the Schnauzers, Diva and Megabyte.  Diva is 13 and weighs about 14 lbs and Megabyte is 11 and weighs 11 lbs. Shakespeare got behind Diva and made a surprise attack by jumping at her.  Diva will not put up with such, so she bit him on his backside.  Megabyte is a very timid little fellow, so Shakespeare did not bother to challenge him.  Anyway, during the day Billy Shakespeare stays in the dog yard with them.  At night I bring him in and he sleeps in a dog crate in the den. The first few nights he would cry loudly for 5 minutes, but now he is use to it and goes straight to sleep.

He does have a buddy to play with, at least for a few weeks.  He will grow quickly and because he is male, I fear he will be aggressive; no matter how much I hold him and try to make him a lap goat.  He and Kennedy are great playmates for the time being and seem to be on equal footing.
