| Arguing over a bone? So I want to know I am doing the right thing in this situation. Please no rude comments. I was sitting right there supervising. Usually I will take the bone away or tell one or the other to back off. This time I had my camera and thought I'd record and get some input. So yesterday my fiancee bought two bones for the girls, he usually gets a rawhide for our bull terrier. Well he had a softer chewy type bone for Lola and they decided to switch. No problem there until my Geneva ate the chewy bone and decided to go and try to steal Lola's bone while she was chewing it next to me. In my opinion it seems Lola is much more mean towards Geneva. Eventually Geneva sneaks the bone away just as I turned the camera off. lol So what do you guys think ? Should I be breaking it up,take the bone away or punishing who?

| I would have stopped Geneva as soon as she started bugging for Lola's bone. They decided to trade, and you were fine with letting them do that. After finishing her bone, I think that she should have left Lola alone to enjoy her bone. Some people believe in letting the dogs hash it out, I don't. I would have told Geneva to knock it off immediately. Just my opinion of course. P.S. They are both really cute. Loved seeing them live.

LOL Yeah see that is what I usually do, whoever starts bugging the other I tell them to back off. The thing is Lola acts like that even if we are sitting on the couch and Geneva comes up to say HI. I took the bone away after anyways because we all know rawhide is not good for a yorkie | |

| Yeah, I wouldn't tolerate it from Lola either. I'm a "mean" Mom

| Yeah, I too would have stopped it when Geneva started bossing Lola. Especially because of their size difference... but I would not tolerate either of them bossing each other around!
