While at Tractor Supply to get a couple of pet gates, I picked up some balls for Rusty.  This might keep him from chewing on Sparky’s toys.  

Rusty appreciated it.

Sparky was napping, but noticed how much fun Rusty was having.  I was curious how it would go when he came out to play.

There wasn’t any growling or tension.  Sparky played until he got the ball, then took it. 

Not cool Sparky, but it’s an improvement.  I got the ball back, and eventually, Sparky stopped taking it.

And Rusty is really cute too.
