He's Teething

After giving JoLee his vaccinations, Doc looked over and gave me a sympathetic grin. “He’s teething,” he said. “He’s likely to be a little irritable.”

“Poor Star,” I thought.

JoLee and Star love to play - and here’s a pictorial play session, so you can come along. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to appreciate Star’s low, throaty growls. She sounds like Cujo on steroids. And you won’t be able to see JoLee’s pounces. He strikes as fast as a snake.

This morning’s early morning session started with the “Chilly Bone,” which is basically a canvas-covered sponge designed to give a teething puppy something to chew on that would ease the pain and sooth the suffering. It also makes a great “keep away” toy, if you happen to be a 5 year old LabraPit who is long past teething.

Star nonchalantly picked it up, making sure JoLee could see what she was doing.



And here is JoLee's response. You don't think this was over the top, do you? Ha! And so it begins.















Sometimes they even looked to see where the Chilly Bone went, but that didn't really matter.


























































And now the napping begins.

  3. Who needs a Chilly Bone when you have a cooperative LabraPit on which to chew! Fun!

  4. Kiko and Josie do this same thing over their Galileo bones! Kiko always wants the one that Josie has. It is funny--Kiko is silent, while Josie whines and growls and ruffs. And like JoLee, Kiko is so fast! Sounds like your two are as good a match as mine.
