Is the expression "you can't teach an old dog new tricks accurate?" The old Pug in this video does not walk very well, and likes to stay close to his very comfortable doggie bed. One day, the family brought home 2 new puppies to perk up their old Pug, hoping to bring more energy into the household. How does the Pug respond?
The short video is amusing to watch, and it also makes a point about whether to bring home young puppies to keep an old dog company.
This blog brings up some practical points about matching energy level of the new puppies to the older dog. Would the puppy energy add to the happiness of your older dog? Or would it annoy him? It also talks about bringing home the puppies on a weekend, so you have 2 full days to observe the interaction between the new ones and your older dog. And know that your older dog COULD be protecting his territory, which may include YOU.
