BLENDED FAMILY Update:

I quickly wanted to add that Sam did much better tonight (day 2). I had Sam & the pups on a leash in neutral territory this morning and there was still one growl. So, tonight, Jack had Sam on a leash, in the LR, and let the puppies down on the floor. He kept giving her voice commands, lots of verbal praise, lots of physical praise too. Eventually she got to the point where her tail was wagging and she was into the whole little brother thing. Even if she is loving to them, we're mindful that one playful romp can injure a pup. I guess that will have to become our mindset with owning any toy dog.

I think it will come over time since Sam is such a great girl. The baby boys just love her tail. Best chew toy ever! They were also looking for milk but didn't find any.

The pups will probably surprise you! Little dogs can be surprisingly durable and will probably give Sam no end of grief!
