We're not keeping them together right now for two reasons, she tinkles and poops in the middle of the night in her pads and we don't want to encourage Chester to do the same and thus regress. Secondly, they are still fighting like cats and dogs so all play is supervised. We've had Chester longer and he's very territorial about his space and toys while Zoe plays rough (bites on his tail, legs, face hair, ears and does other things that really annoys him so he'll lunge at her but that's a seperate problem all on it's own
AND they're both alpha's trying to fight over who will be the top dog at the moment (zoe is winning so far even though she is 3lbs and he is 8lbs lol!)
