White Dog cautioned me to not over-react. "Opal is the one who gets along with everyone. I agree she cannot be allowed to intimidate little Bella and take her treat. But I wonder if there is something troubling her that she is acting out."

Opal had followed Bella to the edge of her crate and stood staring her down until Bella dropped her treat and walked past. Opal scooped it up and was about to trot off in triumph when I grabbed her collar and took the cookie from her mouth.

Opal shot me a look of defiance and started to utter a growl. "Oh no, Sparkling One, we do NOT talk like that."
