How do you deal with jealousy?

[treybabe]

I had something like that happen to me just the other day. LB was sitting next to me on the big recliner when Janni jumped up on one of the arms. She started toward LB and he jumped down. Then she simply jumped down and sat somewhere else. She didn't want to sit with me, but she didn't want him there either. I called him back (he came and jumped back up again)and looked at her and said...you stay right where you are. She did!

I see jealousy and it bothers me also. Well, I *think* it is jealousy here anyway. The problem is Robbie. If he sees Emily on my lap or on the bed with me, he immediately runs to me and chases Emily away. I think he may just not want *her* getting attention!! He does not seem to want mine at these times.

In your case Kirsten, I don't know what you could do about Lily and Luna. I wonder if it is just the personalities? If Luna leaves, maybe it is because she only likes *private* attention and may not really feel hurt when Lily approaches? I know you give both girls lots of attention - so maybe just give extra to Luna when Lily is sleeping??

I don't think it would be a bad idea to ignore Lily if she is simply chasing Luna away.
