Question 2Lb puppy a bully to my Yorkie !

It has been just over a week since I brought home a little 8 week old shih tzu. She is a cutie . A little fire ball ! What has surprised me is that My 15 month old Yorkie, Suzi is a bit bullied by her ! little stinker , goes after Suzi, and chases her, sometimes even nips at her, the only way Suzi can get away from her is to jump onthe couch or my bed. Little Miley boo can't do that yet!
However, Suzi does steal Miley's chew bones, so I guess I ought to just let the two of them work it out on their own? They do not hurt each other at all. There is no growling , or anything . I just feel bad for Suzi! She is the submissive one. Perhaps that is a good thing because Miley is so tiny? Suzi is not going after her or acting aggressive at all?
Miley seems to have figured out that Suzi is scared of her, and sometimes uses that to her advantage. Miley goes onto all of Suzi's resting places, and plays with Suzi's toys, Suzi does not do nothing at all ! We give Suzi tons of extra attention right now too. However, Miley Boo is such a little handful. What a surprise it is to see such a tiny baby with a great attitude try and over run a much bigger dog. Suzi is only around 8 lbs ! LOL .
What can I do , or should I just let them work it out? Since they are not being terribly mean to each other?
