How an only Vizsla learned to share (sort of)

We have had Alba since she was 8 weeks old.

She really hasn't had to "share" anything in her 7 years of only-Vizsla bliss. And even when Dolce came to visit Dolce was the older Vizsla and helped herself to all of Alba's toys and treats. They had really bonded and we really miss her.

So Daisy's introduction was a challenge to Alba's status quo, but despite the general jealousy, we think she actually likes to have a "shadow". Not sure about Alba's mentoring capabilities, but she has sharpened Daisy's confidence, around treats, food, toys, etc. Daisy's first day was intense, but they are getting along pretty well - sharing a bed downstairs and upstairs, and generally keeping tabs on each other.
