Love How can I make Hootie feel special?

Hubby and I recently got a lab puppy who is now 12 weeks old. Hobbs is completely obsessed with him and they just play and play and play. Hootie, on the other hand, does NOT like the new addition to our family. All she does is sit on the couch and watch Lamar and Hobbs play together. Most of me and hubby's time when we are home is spent watching Lamar like a hawk making sure he doesn't eat or tear up something. So, I'm feeling quite guilty that maybe we are ignoring Hootie. We have tried to give the yorkies more privileges that Lamar doesn't have...the yorkies are allowed on the furniture and Lamar is not and the yorkies sleep in the bed with us and Lamar sleeps in his crate. But ever since we brought Lamar home, I just get the feeling that Hootie is depressed and/or feels left out. What can I do to make her feel more special? I try to give her extra loving and lap time, but I just don't feel like that is enough. Any ideas?
