When the big dogs can’t play…

04•16•14

… the little dogs will find a way!

We’re on our way to Em’s oncology appointment. It’s about two hours each way, plus the appointment time, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post an update this afternoon. Tomorrow for sure.

In the meantime, this past week and a half has provided us with some interesting challenges. Namely, what the heck do you do with a super rambunctious, high-energy Cooper and an even higher-energy foster Molly? Well, we’ve had to get creative.

This video, though, was taken when the big dogs were both totally out of commission a couple days after their surgeries. They were sore. Their stitches were raw, and Lucas was having trouble navigating with his very painful foot. In our house, the bedroom is downstairs, and the office is upstairs. So they didn’t have to navigate the steps, all last week I relocated to the bedroom to work. Periodically I took “the littles” out to romp, then Molly would go back in her crate or, if “the bigs” were zonked, I let her play with Coop if they stayed away from the resting big boys.

These two found a way to make it fun. 🙂

    Sweet “littles,” although I have a feeling their antics could be pretty epic.

    Sending the best of good wishes.

    “Silent wrestling!”

    Molly and Cooper seem to get along really, really well. I love Cooper’s frog legs.

    Face wrestling AKA “bitey face” is the best game ever!! Graham and Hershey play it often though Graham is at a disadvantage; he’s playing bitey face while Hershey is playing bitey head.
