Gone to the Dogs - Day 24

Casper and Spirit Playing "Tag-You're-It"  

Casper and Spirit work off a lot of steam playing running games

- their wagging tails show it's all in fun   

Casper and Spirit both love jumping at each other for fun and then running away. Like youngsters playing tag, they don't realize it's good for them.

Gone to the Dogs - Day 17

Play-fighting and Play-biting  

Play-fighting keeps dogs sharp for real encounters    

- they think it's just a game    

Dogs who play-fight and play-bite are able to practice a range of dominant and submissive displays which they can use in encounters with other animals that they are meeting for the first time. This puppy-style romping and running around is still lots of fun for adult dogs. And it's great exercise, too.

Rushing the Gates    

- who will be first out to get the treats?    

The doorway in the doghouse is small. One dog at a time can get through with no trouble.
Two dogs, however, presents a traffic jam.
