I'm having a similar problem with Simon when it comes to Josie. Josie has one toy -- ONE -- that she loves. It's a little terricloth hippo. Josie has never been rough with toys -- she just likes to hold them and squeak them. They are her 'babies' and she really likes the ones made of terricloth, so I make sure she always has one.

Problem is, Simon has a gazillion toys, but he's jealous of that ONE TOY just because Josie loves it so much. He screams at her and steals it from her all the time, then barks at ME when I give it to Josie. I try distracting him with other toys, I try 'leave it', 'no' -- he doesn't care. It's like he wants everything and he doesn't want Josie to have ANYTHING. I'm really hoping this is just a phase cause I really feel sorry for my girl. Corgis are such little brats! :)

I think that is great. At least she is keeping her toys in one place. Bear thinks that it is some kind of sin if his toys are not scattered out on the living room floor for everyone to see.

If we put toys in Maddie's pen, as soon as we open the pen Jack runs in and takes them all out.

One of their favorite toys is a set of interlocking rubber rings. We have two identical sets, but of course each wants the one the other has. Jack was trained "leave it" playing tug, so if you give one good tug he automatically lets go. Maddie has learned this and she will chase Jack around if he has the rings, making grabs at them til she gets them. She gives one tug and he releases, then he looks at me and barks and barks! It's very amusing.

Oh goodness. Libby does this too. If we take a toy from her "pile" and bring it to the living room & give it a squeak, she comes running to steal the toy back, and carries it jovially back to the pile. Once places back in the pile, she will poke each toy with her nose to make sure each is there.

Didn't you just say she was going through adolescence??? Maybe with the "this is mine" too! Other than chews or squeaky toys mine don't care!

Ein takes away any toy that Brian is playing with..then he taunts him with it! The other one always has something better, according to them.
