Yesterday, I adopted a new dog. She is a 4-year-old black and tan miniature dachshund. I currently own a dachshund mix who I adopted a little over a year ago. She is the color of a red dachshund, but has the longer legs. Both dogs are about the same size weighing around 10 pounds.
Anyway, Amber is my old dog. Chloe is the new one. The two met yesterday on a neutral ground (a dog run) that was fenced in. They ran around with each other and got along pretty well. They are doing well in the house also. When fed together they each eat their share and they don't try to take each other's food.
My question is this. How should I go about with the whole "sharing" thing? Amber has her bed and Chloe has hers. If they choose to swap beds, is that okay? How will I know if one is trying to be possessive? I'm trying to nip any of that in the bud before it happens.
