Sharing Is A Good Thing, Right?

Brooke is all about sharing lately. Unfortunately, she isnt doing that sharing with us ... she likes to share with the dog.

This one is my fault. Since the ball incident I have been working with both Wrigley and Brooke. I have encourage Brooke to "throw" the ball to Wrigley so that Wrigley understands that she doesnt want to keep it, only to play. And I congratulate and reward Wrigley each time she fetches a ball from Brooke, and more importantly ... allows Brooke to snatch a ball away from her. It has gotten much better, a bit too good I guess ...
This one is all Brooke. She likes to feed Wrigley from her high chair, and Wrigley truly appreciates it. We havent been doing anything about it hoping this new trick will just fade on its own. If we laugh, it will encourage her. If we tell her "no", she might just do it to spite us. So far ignoring it hasn't been working ... but we will see.
