Sleep

I fell back asleep for a few hours. I must have been more tired than I realized. The dogs did fine in their kennels. They didn't even wake me up! I let them out after they sat at the door.

Moped is belly up on the floor and Skooter is playing with him. It's interesting to watch their interactions. Moped will try to hump Skooter and Skooter will get indignant that Moped even tried to do that and will posture to hump him.

They are always fighting over the same toy even when their are multiple toys to be played with. Skooter will open his jaw really wide and lightly clamp on Moped's snout or head. Skooter also pulls Moped by the collar frequently. Now he's humping him again and Moped went belly up. Humping again and Moped is just putting up with it. Now Moped is chewing on the everlasting teat ball and Skooter went into Moped's kennel. They are a bit calmer now. Back to humping and 'head fighting'. Skooter just made Moped yelp, so the games are over. Moped is chewing on a busy buddy and Skooter is just milling around. Skooter backed off right away when he realized that he had really hurt Moped.

I put out a busy buddy with kong tots in it. Moped played with it for a few minutes, then Skooter realized treats were coming out of it. Then he took it and started flipping it over so that he could get the treats. And we're back to dancing and humping. Moped is funny because he used to be able to walk underneath Skooter without lifting Skooter up. He still tries to walk underneath him but he's about the same size as Skooter so he lifts him up and twirls him around.

They just finished a bried session of snapping in the air at each other. Moped stole the busy buddy and brought it behind David's chair. Skooter is trying to get it away from him. Skooter is barking at him because he wants that busy buddy with the treats in it. I had to put more treats in the busy buddy, so now Skooter has it again. Moped is helping him clean up the treats. Skooter just told Moped to stay back by mouthing him on the snout again. Moped backed off completely and is now barking. Moped started biting my ottoman so I redirected him to a toy (the plush dog). Skooter is humpin Moped yet again. Moped tries to walk underneath him and Skooter tries to hump him when he gets out from there. Now Moped has the busy buddy and is carrying it around and chewing on it. He can pull bits of the busy buddy off because he is such an aggessive chewer. They are playing together again now. Skooter got up on the couch, he's done playing for now. Moped is up on the couch too but he's still playing. Skooter is trying to stop him from playing so they are street fighting again.

I wish Moped could calm down after playing for so long, but he's still such a puppy and can play until he drops.

Skooter thought he saw something outside so he jumped out a growled a bit. But then he stopped. Now they are playing on the couch and there's lots of snorting going on, mouthing too. It got a little too rough so I yelled 'hey' and they quit. Their both getting a drink of water. I put them both in their kennels for a short nap. They've expended quite a bit of energy and this will give me some time too.
