Maximo's brother Teddy is finally here! They are full brothers from different litters. Teddy is 8 months old and weighs 5 pounds, 12 ounces. Maxman is 14 months old and 8.0 pounds.
They met on neutral territory and shared a very long car ride home. Now they are trying to establish order in the house.
Maximo doesn't mind sharing food and toys, but he has been guarding the potty pads and beds.
Poor Teddy has had a couple accidents as a result.
The other problem we are having -- Maximo won't allow anyone to pick up Teddy. He goes into attack mode.
Both boys appear to have alpha personalities, although Maximo is more serious and highly principled, while Teddy is more easy going.
Do I just sit back and let the guys work things out, or is there something I can do to speed the transition?
