Rivalry

 Our Jack Russel Terrier, Champ, was not very happy when we brought home the new addition, a Toy Fox Terrier, Maximus.  For a while there, Champ doesn't have to do anything with Max.  We slowly work on it and told Champ that he would be  his  buddy  from now on.  
 A couple of days ago, my wife  saw Champ in his chair so she put Max there too.  Champ was ignoring him at first.  Max made his way to be closer to him.
 Every time Champ would growl, We told him him not too.
 He finally settled and let Max be part of his territory.
He gets uneasy when  Max touches his ball or uses his chair.  I think that the rivalry will  soon vanish.  Champ needs a little more time to get fully acquainted with Max.
