It may take as long as a year before they actually start to show you that they like each other. Right now tolerating each other is what's important, don't make them be together and as someone mentioned allow Kimchee to have a place where she can get away from Arthur. Don't interfere in arguments unless it's really bad i.e., one is in danger of its life. If Kimchee has been properly socialized, she will not hurt the puppy, but she might scare it when she means “no. Honestly, he's going to try to nurse her, hump her, and be all around annoying, so she's got to be able to say "no" to him, without getting into trouble from you. Otherwise, she'll be the one abused. When he learns her rules, they will get along better.

Yup, sounds like everything is normal. Good advice here! Just for sure make sure you have a place that Kimchee can "escape to" when needing to get away from the rambuncious Arthur
