Hachi is feeling so much more at ease since he's been able to run around again. Those 14 days of rest felt like 14 years!
He has naturally bonded strongly with R so I tend to take him outside to play with Shyla. If R were with us, I'm not sure that Hachi would look to Shyla to play.
Shyla's favorite game is "stick". She won't accept any substitute for real sticks - no toys, no fake sticks. It's got to be a real stick. Shyla tries very hard to slow herself down enough that Hachi can play with her. She often "offers" Hachi the stick, as you can see.
So, I had to laugh when he brought me a "Hachi-sized stick" all by himself!
love the hachi sized stick.. he is so super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteHari om
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I knew he was smart :-) YAM xx
Hilarious Is An Understatement - So Cute
ReplyDeleteCheers
And he's so proud to bring you HIS stick!
ReplyDeleteHachi is learning a lot from both of the older pups. He sure is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteYou are just too darn adorable, Hachi☺
ReplyDeleteOh Hachi, ya done good, really, really good!
ReplyDeleteHachi knows how to play the stick game with his sister. So cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day and week. My best to your mom. ♥
Bailie plays that game with me all the time. Just when I'm about to put my mouth on the stick, she bolts off. No tug games with Bailie. She doesn't share sticks. Good thing Hatchi has R to play with.
ReplyDeleteBOL Hachi...Shyla's girl power has you a bit baffled does it.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your snow melt

He is hilarious and beautiful. Jake loved sticks and used to offer his sticks to Baby, just as she would grab for it he would take off, to get her to chase him.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Hachi, you do make us find reasons to smile.
ReplyDeleteHe is learning so quickly, and his very own stick, just the right size.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Spring may be arriving..snow melting. Had a chuckle at the Hachi-sized stick.
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I used to be amazed that with all the sticks in our woods, Ellie and Lucy would invariably want the same one.
ReplyDeleteSweet little Hachi with his Hachi sized stick too cute! And Shyla is so sweet to let him get her stick - all are so sweet today!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to get Hachi to play with Shyla. I always was challenged when we had 3 dogs to make it so that someone wasn't left out. ♥

He's adorably cute. Neither of my guys are into sticks or balls and Sam has never really gotten into toys either. He's prefer to 'play' with his mama. 😊
ReplyDeletelove seeing that cutie!
ReplyDeleteBOL!!! That is FABulous! Ma doesn't lets me have sticks anymores, cause I used to eats some of it....ooops!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥

I've got a picture of our Lucy and Riley running with the same stick in their mouths. It is a fun game, and eventually Hachi will be big enough to play it.
