Black Dog Sunday - And a Magical Big Brother

I am wonderfully happy with our big dogs' behavior with Hachi. They seem to trade off as to who babysits him.  Shyla had Saturday off from playing with Hachi, and R did yeoman's work.

Actually R seemed to like it.

R has a very different play style than Shyla does. Shyla likes to play with toys while R likes to wrestle.

And he likes to bare his teeth!

I just love Hachi's facial expressions before he "strikes" R.

During wrestling breaks, Hachi played in his tunnel. He adores it! He does laps around the living room that include sprints through the tunnel.
Happy Black Dog Sunday!

    It's so great for Hachi to have two siblings who each like to play in different ways! I just got Luke's tunnel out today, since we've been stuck inside more lately. I have to encourage him a bit, but he does love running back and forth through it once I get him going.

    Isn't it fun to watch the different dynamics within a pack? We think Hachi brought just the perfect personality to blend in so well with each of the older dogs.
