Sad Chopper

Chopper seems so sad the past few weeks since the arrival of our new fur baby, Sushi. I am worried that it really makes him feel bad because Sushi is getting more attention than him lately. We try to give equal attention but since Sushi is the youngest and the littlest fellow in the house, she stays in our bedroom most of the time. Chopper always pees in our bedroom the past few days which he has not done before. I try to have more patience because I understand how he feels. I hope that he soon realized that he is still loved and cared for. My kids are worried about him as well but I know sooner or later he would come to realize and accept that Sushi is now a part of our family. Photo is mine (Sulking Chopper)

Poor sweet Chopper. I'm sure he is jealous of the attention Sushi is getting now, even though you try to share your affections equally. I'm hopeful Chopper will adjust to the new member of the family soon. He's adorable!!!

I think he needs more time to adjust. I also noticed to our queen dog here because of having a new puppy in the house.

Chopper is jealous of Sushi, he pees because he is stressed and he wants to mark his territory. Surely he feels that you are giving more attentions to Sushi. Not all dogs accept new animals in the house.

You need to talk to him. I did that with my dog when he did that in my bedroom when I visited another family with a dog. After talking to him, he never did it again. He knew I would never bring another dog into the house. He was my one and only. You need to let him know you love him and that your affection for him will never change even with the new dog in the house.

Poor Chopper. He is obviously unhappy about the new status quo. I guess you are paying as much attention to him as you can. He no doubt feels left out at the moment.

Oh I know peeing is some kind of placing territorial boundary. I hope that you can make him understand that you still love and care for him and that the new member just needs more attention as he still is a growing pup.
