Our boy Tug

He's finally growing up! Tug has passed the adolescent stage and is becoming more mature about things (of course, he still won't pick up a toy that's too close to the dreaded vacuum cleaner...). Now, he doesn't go crazy as often (jumping up, running circles and trying to bite us) but when he does get the crazies he's like that for a longer time. Oh, well. He now plays differently and is more interested in getting us to do what he wants. He'll pick up a toy and stand in front of us with his eyes averted but making small jerking movements with his head. It's just like when I dangle a toy over his head and move it back just as he jumps for it. If that doesn't work he used to drop the toy and lick or nip us. Now he just moves the toy closer to our hands. If we still resist the toy starts bumping our hands. He's trying to train us! Sometimes we don't respond just to see what he'll do and he just sighs heavily- toy still in his mouth. What a good boy.
