Thanks!! I am an aspiring writer...YT gives me plenty of chances to practice!

You really all will be bonded very quickly, especially since you work from home. When I rescued Ella, I also was working from home (the good ol' days!) and all the time we spent together helped us get cozy really quickly. Since you are in sunny Florida, I suggest you take them for walks together. Walking helps bond you to them and them to each other and burns of excess energy, so there is less energy for fighting/jealousy/aggression. This helped Ella Bean and Louis settle in with one another. They have spats - I would say a few times a week - but I look at it like a brother and sister getting on one another's nerves. Maybe I am anthropomorphizing, but they really appear to be playing, then someone will get too rough and the other will get irritated!

Also, bones and chewies can cause some tension - training Ralphie to ignore Lilly (I decided!!) while she has a toy or chewy would be a good thing to do from the start!

Also, you are lucky b/c the 2nd one potty trains more quickly b/c they copy the older one!
