Kovu Plays Keep-Away
[Video Description: Kovu the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel squeaks an orange ball, then shoves it away with his nose. I threaten it with growly noises and grabby hand; Kovu shoves it further away. I take it, squeak it several times, and throw it back. Kovu pounces it, then lays down to begin again.]
Tristan plays Keep-Away: he lays on a dog bed, wagging happily. He ostentatiously mouths his red squeaky, sets it down and boop-squeaks it several times, then looks at me invitingly. He mouths it again, then tosses it off the dog bed toward me.
Now it's my turn to take the squeaky, squeak it a few times, wave it around a bit, and toss it back.
Theft!
Please play with Tristan's bottlecap?
Play! With! Tristan!
[Video Description: Tristan, a black and white cocker spaniel, puts his feet up on a bedside table to steal an empty pill bottle set there for him. He backs away, wagging playfully, and looking expectantly up at the camera. / In a second clip, Tristan sets a bottle cap on the ground, rolls it toward the camera, and sits, again looking expectantly toward the camera. Sound: occasional teeth on plastic]
Every year as the days get hotter, Tristan spends less time outside and is a little lethargic inside. Very reasonable, right? Every other creature in Florida does the same.
We've been trying to figure out why he produces such an enormous amunt of (not infected) goop from his eyes, and dealing with severe skin reactions to some biting insect. We tried Cytopoint a month ago.
It's getting hotter out, still, but every day now Tristan is having a *better* day. More playful outside and inside, spending more time outside, more into mischief every day. In this video, he's been patiently trying to teach Gwyn how to play "keep-away" properly (pick up the toy, mouth the toy, pretend to drop it, pick it up, push it away from you; Gwyn is having a little trouble with pushing it far enough away when she volleys it back).
Well. Huh. It's not just the heat.
Tristan with his favorite toy (a bare red replacement squeaker)
He's either trying to get me to put it safely away, or trying to get me to play keep-away. It's up to me to figure out which.
Tristan dares you to take his favorite toy (a bare replacement squeaker for XS toys). The mischief drips off him as he wriggles in delight at the keep-away game.
