Lucky, the JRT and Max, the newborn...

Sheri and Lucky

We have a new son in the home (10 days old) and Lucky, our 7-year-old JRT has been doing fine, until tonight. To preface this, know that I have been very aware of Lucky's comfort and sensitivity with having a new one at home. We've borrowed children, let Lucky play with them, had a newborn for a few nights, and played baby sounds. The two days before we brought the baby home, I took a blanket from the baby's room (and that he had been wrapped in) and put it in his space at the doggie day care. At home, I've played with him quite a bit, more than usual. Tonight, we were going up to bed and we noticed that Lucky had peed on my wife's spot of the bed where she feeds Max. We don't want any issues. What happened and what can we do from here on out to help Lucky with the adjustment to Max? Thank you.
