Looking for a Shared Vision

Still working on the working it out thing between the dogs. Bailey is getting his voice, though, & using it to defend himself. Paul was brave crazy enough to put them both (read: together) alone in the basement for 20 mins. Well, they survived, but I'm guessing Ella bossed heavily. When I got home, I took her for a 45 min. walk (hoping to work out the energy she was bursting with the last couple of evenings positively, which it did). Bailey retaliated from earlier by grabbing every toy she looked at, growling like he wanted to scrap with. There's brave & then there's stupid, Little Man!! Anyhow, she got the message this time (maybe because she was tired) ... Hard to tell if they are trying to play or fight. Either way, guess it's like any typical brother & sister!
