We've had Tucker (17mos.) for a little over a year and thought it would be great to get him a little sister (I've always wanted a little girl Yorkie) so we got 4 month old Molly for him (and Me). I had visions of them laying side by side on their little beds gnawing on their chew toys, etc.... But, all they do is wrestle and growl and nip and fight over each others toys, and beds, etc. This is not what I had in mind.

Tucker is big at around 5.5 lbs and Molly is tiny at under 2.5 lbs and I worry about him hurting her. I was careful to introduce them slowly and from behind baby gates, ex-pen and stuff with short play times together, but it has been almost a month now. Will they have to live in separate rooms forever?

Aack! What do I do?

Thanks a bunch!
