Imagine that -- a Chi licking! That, I know, is one characterstic of the breed. Sophia drives evewryone absolutely insane with her "kissing." The two Chis pretty much hang together, although they do play with the other dogs and they enjoy teasing the cat, until Fluffy has had enough . I cannot rememer what their first fight was over, but they ended up under a king-sized bed and it was awful, trying to get them out and separated. Sophia was pretty bloodied up that time, although it always looks worse than it is. What I have done so far is remind Sophia that I am the boss and kept both dogs off my lap and away from my side . It seems to be working -- fingers crossed! Thanks again!
