OMG, Snowball is just beautiful!  I can see why his former "mom" gave him that name.  I hope, if she's still alive, that someone has told her he's in a new loving home and being well cared for.  (I'd want to know in the same situation.)

@Flopsy 

 

Happy Days to you and your new baby.  Thank you for caring.

 

As many have said, Snowball has many reasons to be anxious right now.

 

Two things we do

 

     Take extra care to reassure Toby that he’s not being replaced, give him a bit of extra time, and while snuggling Snowball, I would be sure to make eye contact with Toby once in a while, say his name, and talk your usual silly talk with him.

 

     It would be great if you and DH could tag-team with the love, and hugs so no one feels left out.  One dog on each side is a good idea too.

 

     Finally, I always give the dog who was there all along his food bowl, or treat first, even if they are both standing right there.  If you have assigned beds, never let the newbie take over the other’s bed.  If invited it’s all good, but being kicked out is no fun.

 

Relax and enjoy the joy of your blended family!

@Flopsy,

What a perfect and beautiful little face he has. I can understand why you are in love. Just keep loving him

and I'll bet he comes to understand you are going to keep him. Hope you have a loving journey with your new sweetheart!💞
