| For those of you with TWO yorkies: Emma and little Milli seem to be getting along well for the most part, but they play SO rough with each other. My little 3 lb. girl is a little spit-fire! She thinks she's as big or bigger than Emma already, and definitely holds her own!The growling, barking, biting, body-slamming, running into each other and furniture, and the list goes on...but they seem to be having fun. Is this normal? Emma is 11 months and Milli is going on 14 weeks! Also-WHY is it that they have an entire basket of toys, but want the exact same one all the time? We have two identical Nylabones, but they will only fight over one at the same time, while the other bone is on the floor by them, they won't touch it! And-WHY do they get so jealous of each other, and pretend they don't like each other, and then I catch them snuggling? |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Normal behaviour I think. Mine do the same thing. I gave them both a piece of bread last night and Lulu walked away from hers to take nibbles from Lex's that he had in his mouth. They also rough house and I swear I have a heard of elephants around.

| Same in our house! They especially like to body slam into the vertical blinds and play hide and seek through them... Totally, 100% NORMAL! Every once in a while, they might get too rough but as soon as one gives a yelp, the other stops and give her a kiss. Hmmm.... maybe they were watching the agility dogs on Animal Planet and they think the blinds are the weave poles?

| my babies are the same way too!!! Suzy, my Cleo & Ceasar are the same way too! They are both almost 2 1/2 years old and are from the same litter.We used to buy them two of each toy but they would just ignore the other and concentrate on one. So forget about his and hers toys. They love to plan tug-of-war on almost anything. They do the "challenge stare" too, they would stop and stare at each other and would charge each other. They get rough and aggressive with a lot of growling and that's when they get the time out. We would give them the command: settle down, which they would lay on their sides and heads down. They know they can't get up unless we tell them "OK". That settles and calms them down. But it's just so fun to watch them do that. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Same here. 3 lb Pixie beats up sweet 5 lb Cali. Today I heard this banging noise and I see Pixie knocking Cali into the closet door. If I stop Pixie thinking Cali is getting hurt, Cali walks back over to her.

Mom to Marty & Maddie Donating Member | Anytime Marty has a playmate over, he plays pretty hard with him/her. It's all in fun...as in there is never any growling or biting, but he does get rough. After he's all tired out, he'll usually lay down and go to sleep with his playmate (or me or my husband). I think it's just normal interaction and nothing to worry about. |

| Same at my house. No one seems to get hurt, but it sure does sound like someone's getting it! Anyway, it's fun to watch them chase each other in circles. |
