Andy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Sleeeeeep. . . I need Sleeep. Arrived home after picking up Malaki. Kells went in and Muzzled Echo and Darwin. Brought Malaki into the Back garden and let the rest of the guys meet him. Darwin Straight in grumbling and barging into him. Echo and Daughtry pretty much ignored him. Darwin and Malaki tussling (thank god for the muzzles.) Gave Echo a ball throw. Seems Malaki likes balls too. So I throw ball for Echo echo races after it. Malaki races after Echo. Darwin races after malaki. Echo gets ball turns around to bring it back Malaki thunders into Echo. Echo twists around him and Darwin barrels into Malaki. Echo brings ball basck and I launch second ball in the opposite direction for Echo. Echo races off with Malaki in hot pursuit, and Darwin chasing Malaki. Repeat this about 20 times. Daughtry is stood near me watching all this with her usual, 'I ain't gettin' involved in none of this' attitude. Malaki finally starts to tire and him and Darwin have another tussle. Echo is knackered so she follows me in, Malaki follows me in and Darwin follows Malaki grumbling under his breath. Into the living room. Darwin continues to grumble and make noises at Malalki which REALLY isn't helping. Every time a human moves Malaki follows with Darwin behind. Everytime they get close, going through doorway or in tight corners, with Darwin grumbling it kicks off. TV has nearly gone over, My PC went off at silly angles. Cups off tables. Jeez guys give it a rest, why don'tcha !!! The good thing is that Echo is NOT getting involved and SHE was the one we were worried about when bringing a new dog into the mix. She's pretty much staying out of it. (thankful for small mercies) Aaaaand so it continued for the rest of the evening. 10pm We're all very tired, so Kells takes the 3 upstairs and I keep Malaki downstairs with me. I take his muzzle off and give him half an hour to settle. I close the living room door and secure it so he can't get out. (The living room and the toilet are the only two downstairs room with doors.) I go upstairs. Lots of scratching and whining going on downstairs. (give him time to settle) An hour later no change, so I go downstairs and bring him up into my room. He now seems quite happy and settles down. except every 10 minutes or so he gets up nudges me paces around a bit then flops down on the floor panting. continue this until 4am. I hear Kells get up and take the other 3 downstairs and outside for a wee. I wait untill they get back up and take Malaki down. He has a good wee and we go back upstairs. I put in earplugs and try to sleep. I get about an hour and he's nudging me again and wooing at me. Downstairs again. Wee. Upstairs. 7.30 nudging and barking at me. Dammit dog I need sleep.!! Give it up as a bad job and get up. Kells gets up at 8.15 bringing the other 3 down. Darwin launches into Malaki. Really, you can't have breakfast first ??? !!! Chuck them both muzzled out into the back garden to sort things out. I have some toast, whilst listening to the intermittent barnies kicking off outside. Kells goes off into town for a midwifes appointment and I feed the 4 monsters. I give Echo a ball throw. (repeat yesterday evenings events). and now they are all in the living room Echo and Daughtry curled up around my computer chair. Darwin near the sofa and Malaki near the door. All peaceful (for 5 minutes) However the washing up ain't gonna do itself and as soon as I get up Malaki will follow me, Darwin will follow him and . . . . Sigh. Hope they sort it out soon.

I am sure they will sort it out, but it is going to be a rather harrowing time for you all. Hats off to you and Kelly, it anyone can do it, it is you two ps : I know how difficult it was when I had the little lost girl - her and Micah hated each other - passionately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth it in the end xxxx We're hoping to do it with as little bloodshed and vets bills as possible. They seem a 'bit' calmer this morning. Darwin isn't 'quite' as grumbly.

shellbateman Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I know what you are going through!!! I have been fostering a rescue for three weeks now and Sam still feels the need to bully him!! They are ok at times, get tired and sleep most of it but Storm will crawl away under the coffee-table away from Sam and Sam thinks he's a big man by making him go under there... They aren't fighting much but Sam just constantly intimidates him grrr. Sam is very unpredictable and I feel so sorry for Storm I wonder if me keeping him because I love him is best for my boy, I think he needs a big girly to sort him out and keep him in line The first week I was sleepless but it does get better You start to blurr the days together and get too tired to care ahha. I sure they will sort it out, think possitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure they will sort it out, think possitive. Oh, yeah. It's not the first time we've done this. We had the same nonesense when we brought Darwin into the pack 2 years ago. It's just the first few days until they sort the boundaries out. Then they'll be best of friends. (I hope) One day we'll look at each other and say. . ."D'you know it's been a few days since Darwin and Malaki have kicked off" We'll smile and then listen as the noise erupts somewhere in the house. oops . . . .spoke too soon.

shellbateman Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Urgh. I love the possitive attitudes. It is my first time having two huskies introduced together, only done huskies and other breeds, I am glad I read this as it all seems more normal than I thought now!!!

He is used to getting up at 6 30 and been let out lol. Hopefully it improves asap. It's all new to him and the other dawgies. We'll get there. It's been a bit calmer this afternoon. they've all had a kip and Darwin isn't growling as much when Malaki moves. They've had another Chase / ball throw in the garden. malaki needs to learn to go around people and not through them when chasing Echo.
