If you've had a chance to watch the video of Alex and Smooch being together
for the first time, you know why I'm over the moon with happiness and relief.
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect them to get along as well as they are.
Alex was cautious at first...
...but she sought out Smooch's friendship in no time.
Smooch has shown no aggressive behavior whatsoever,
no matter how hard Alex tries to get her attention.
If Smooch isn't in the mood to play, she just gives Alex "the look" and shuts her down.
Even Alex's interpretive dance routine was not enough to engage her.
Smooch had more important tasks at hand...
such as teaching Alex how to watch the road for trespassers.
Thank you all for sharing in our happiness. I've been collecting your questions
and will try to answer them in an upcoming post.
Smooch is simply THE best! She knows she still has your love, even with the new puppy in the house, so she’s going to be accepting. I’m so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOmg! The peeking photos are adorable. Smooch helps calm her a little, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cute together! Yes, relief all is going so well.
It seemed that Smooch was showing Alex the routine in the video. Looking for critters and such in and around the homestead. Then there was time for play! And those are great pics of Alex sneaking a peek. Smooch looks so regal in her role as top dog! Denise
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm so very happy for all three of you!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are precious pictures! Little Alex is one very smart pup. And it looks like Smooch is going to have her trained in no time.
ReplyDeleteYou're so fortunate to have this go so well! Those photos are absolutely WONDERFUL! Have to wonder, though, how do you acclimate a puppy to dangerous things like rattle snakes?
ReplyDeleteHappy happy happy.

how can Smooch resist such cuteness! and the dance! you captured all these sweet moments!
ReplyDeleteJust the way it should be...the leaders of the pack teaching the youngsters. I think you will find that little Alex will not only bring huge amounts of love and joy into your world, it will also do the same for Smooch. Smooch will teach her all she needs to know:)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Sue
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Alex will get Smooch playing & add years to her life, and Smooch will teach Alex her doggie manners, things we humans can't impart. Smooch has already started, in fact, and Alex is smart enough to take hints from her elders. What joy!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. It is a great match!!
ReplyDeleteI love her ears and worried eyes peeking over the couch, and I don't know how Smooch can resist that dance. You must be laughing all day. Smooch is just the best girl ever.
ReplyDeleteomigosh, LOVE the interpretive dance routine, that is hilarious! Smooch is very secure in your love, that's obvious. So glad it is going so well and that Alex knows not to challenge Smooch -- several very submissive poses in that video. /Gretchen
ReplyDeleteWhat does Johnny Cash Cat think of this new addition? Jill
ReplyDeleteAnd... has Alex ventured over to the fence to meet George and Alan??
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly happy for you, Smooch and Alex!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! I'm so glad to hear that they get along so well!!
