Great post!!! I have the exact same problem with BOB. He is unbelievably insane when Ginger gets petted. He barrels across the room and forces his way in between. He butts Ginger out and will even growl is she doesn't take the hint. It is so annoying!

And toys... Yup, just like you described. Ginger picks one up... BOB has to have - and immediately. Ginger gets another and Bob could care less about the first - gotta have the new one. Put Bob outside and pet Ginger or give her something and watch Bob go BERSERK!!! LOL! I'll listen to your suggestions, but I really hope this improves over time and as Bob gets older. P.S. Bob's getting fixed in a couple of weeks. Will this make any difference???
