Play Time

We spend a LOT of time watching Asher and Tovah play together. Many people have asked what the two of them play like. It's taken me this long to actually get to my computer, upload the videos, figure out how to use iMovie, upload them to YouTube and then get them on my blog. I'm feeling a great sense of accomplishment having finally figured this out! These videos are from July, so you will notice that Tovah is a bit smaller in these photos. Her larger size these days just means she's even more of a noodge now!

The first video is a short clip of Asher initiating play with Tovah. He loves to get a squeaky toy and go after her. She is not afraid of a single toy, no matter how loud or large it is. 

This second video is a long one, so watch what you want and skip the rest. It is a classic example of the kind of play that goes on throughout the day in our house. Asher has been named the Most Tolerant Big Brother Ever, as Tovah is constantly noodging him. She loves to grab a hold of his beard and not let go. She's constantly demanding attention and play, and most of the time, he puts up with it (unless it is early in the morning or late at night). 

We've loved watching the two of them negotiate play. At first Asher wasn't sure how to handle such a tiny little puppy. He quickly learned how to do some 'ballet' around his little sister, how to mouth at her without hurting her, and how to put up with her constant desire to play.

We've also loved watching Asher enjoy play again. Over the past year, we had noticed Asher's two large crates of toys left largely untouched, which saddened us. 

Hearing the joyful squeak squeak of toys again, watching Asher and Tovah Rose play together, and knowing how much they love each other fills our home with happiness. We could not have asked for a better transition or relationship between our two furkids.

Blessings,
