Hi!

We just added to our family by welcoming a second male yorkie to our family. Now we have two boys Cosmo & Caddie. We just got Caddie this past Thursday and Cosmo is trying to adjust to him and vice versa. Initially Cosmo would not touch his food or water bottle if Caddie touched it even for a second lil jealous boy is finally coming around. They have been playing in spurts here and there but this morning they were both really at it chasing each other climbing over each other which seemed like they were having fun and playing until I heard Cosmo squeal. Apparently Caddie had pulled his hair and this happened twice. Now I'm not sure if they are playing or fighting. How can you tell if they are playing or if they fighting and trying to hurt eachother? I'm rather confused and would love to get some advice from all of you. Any other suggestions to help me along with adjusting the two to eachother would be greatly appreciated as well.

I look forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks in advance.
