Sibling Rivalry


Whatever Rudy has, Emme wants. Whatever Emme has, Rudy wants. Each is so concerned that the other doesn't get anything he/she doesn't get also. So when one dog gets petted, both dogs get petted. When one dog goes outside, both dogs go outside. When one dog gets a toy, both dogs try to get the same toy. When one dog gets played with, both dogs get played with.
When one dog gets a treat, both dogs get a treat. It has gotten so that when one dog gets medicine: a pill hidden in a piece of cheese, the other dog gets a piece of "sympathy cheese" so it won't feel left out. This is just like raising two children.
