Depends on what it is. food bowls - no. water bowl, yes. favorite couch - yes. toys - NO! Everything "belongs" to Star. Sometimes she'll take a toy over & hit Sherman with it to get him to play, but she wont let him have the toy to play with. Sometimes she drop toys as bait and then growls & lunges at him if he comes over to check it out. Poor boy, sometimes he just can't figure her out! I can't either - when she was younger she used to give her toys to other dogs all the time.
