What a doll he is! They certainly look companionable in that photograph, Freyja. But I know from experience that still shots can be very deceptive.

We enforce a rule during eating--no one approaches anyone else's food--except us. We make it a point to occasionally have our fingers in their bowls, move their bowls around, pick them up, put them down, just to make sure they don't get too food possessive, but they aren't allowed to approach each other if they're eating in the same room. We figure they don't need to duke it out over their food--they'll settle status disputes elsewhere. The rule works pretty well, except once in a while when someone abandons a chew.
