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!
You are a great writer!! You have a serious talent there girl!!

Ohhh how I would love for them to play and snuggle...I have visions of it dancing around in my little head ha ha!!

Thank God about the potty training being easier Ralphie was actually very easy to train but I am still dreading it!
