Glad things are going better. I have to feed Lucy and Ringo separately. Ringo inhales his food and would bully his way over to Lucy's if I allowed it. So, we feed them in separate rooms and just quit worrying about it.
Small, boring bones and treats are no problem; they will trade it back and forth for hours. One will take it from the other and then lay it down; then the other will pick it up and so on and so forth.
For really good treats like bully sticks ~ those have to be eaten in their crates. Because they will fight over those. Lucy has to have Ringo's and then he gets mad and tries to hoard both of them . . . it's just not worth it. Now I save the bully sticks for when they have to go in their crates for some reason.
But Ringo is probably way more dominant than Cooper. Lucy is very submissive so there are few skirmishes. Poor Lucy. But she loves Ringo so I think she is happy???
