Hi All -
I have a 6-year-old Yorkie who is human and a diva true to her name. She has been the apple of everyone's eye with whom she comes in contact. And such a lap dog.

Enter Ruby, the new Yorkie, who is now 6 months old and the super busy, INSANELY jealous little sister. She tries to take over EVERYTHING. And Diva's disinterest in her after 4 months just gives her additional fuel to be bossy amongst the two. My biggest issue though is: Sibling rivalry.

If I talk to Diva, she runs over wanting to get the attention that Diva is getting. If I pick Diva up, she is at my feet jumping because she wants to get picked up. If I'm bathing Diva, then she's at the tub jumping to get in - and she hates baths.

Just wondering if anyone else had the same issue with multiples. How did you handle it?

Thanks,
Summer
