Integrating Ray and Apple has been...largely painless. Oh, they're not best buddies, no. But when they spar it's playful and doesn't go too far. A growl is rare - and is heeded as a warn-off. It's not perfect, we've intervened a couple times, but mostly they are dealing quite well. They can play with opposite ends of the same toy happily. They nap in the same room.
I think it may be time to stop shutting Ray in his room when we aren't around to supervise. This makes me all sorts of twitchy, because we are still instructing Ray in the fine art of "no you MAY NOT go there!" Argh. But, that's nuisance, not disaster.

Of course, that's what we have. Thankfully they spend most of their lives on different floors of the house, and ignore each other as much as possible. Spats happen but the dominant of the pair can't be bothered to push the point.
