Tug's day

Tug's very much a "mama's boy" and is just as lethargic and grumpy on rainy days as Mama gets. Today, he just wanted to be in a lap but we were leaving him for the afternoon to go to a play and then to dinner. We needed him to play and get rid of some energy. He did have a good time playing tug o' war with me and since he spends most of that time on his hind legs it wears him out quickly. At one point, when he just had one front paw against me to balance on his hind legs, I moved the toy over his head and behind him. He just pivoted around on his hind legs and lunged for it. I was so amazed- especially since when we got him his little back legs were so weak he couldn't even walk fast on the slick laminate floor!

His aunt came by in between the play and dinner and he was just as hysterical as the previous visit. The difference is she was wearing nice clothes this time so Tug had to wear his leash so we could keep him from jumping up on her. Right now, his nails are putting little pills and pulls in our clothing...
