do you ever crate her?? i don't crate mine so I hate to tell you to crate yours but I can't think of anything else but to keep her separated from the girls so they can play. Bitsy has never bit any of the children but her bark and growl sometimes can sound like she's going to take a limb off. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. wish I could help more!!! if I were there I could entertain Lily while you entertain the girls
