Looks like play to me. Teddy gets a little rough and irritates Max, so I have to tell them to settle down like Deb does with her girls. Make sure Luma has a place to escape Rosie when she wants.
They don't do this when their alone. I videotaped them when I had to leave them a few times. They just hung out quietly and watched the door together.
Teddy pushes Max away from bowls, the water bowl and even Max's food bowl. It has not caused Max to be food aggressive at all. I'm surprised he lets Teddy do this.
The only thing that I believe would cause a real fight between my boys is a chew. I hold their chews for other reasons, so it isn't a problem.
