Dog Silliness at Casa del Mel

It starts with a little flick of the tail.
A flirty move to be sure.
A play bow soon follows, accompanied by a low, playful growl.
She bats her eyes his way and he is game.

The low growl is responded to with a “Chuff!” from across the room.
Soon he is moving closer. Closer still.
The conversation begins with a lot of groaning and grrring.
The chase has begun.

This was last night at Casa del Mel as Jasper and Lady got their silly on and started to play. This doesn’t happen every day, but when it does it makes me laugh.

I am sure people will think I am crazy, but more often than not I join in and give chase too. Last night, we chased each other around the coffee table and into Daisy’s room (who paced and followed us in excitement) and then back around the coffee table. I had both Lady and Jasper pouncing on me and running back and forth as I chased them saying “I’m going to get you!”

Lady usually has to run and grab Daisy’s Woobie so she can squeak it in excitement. She loves nothing better than coming out to the kitchen with it in her mouth, tail wagging (waiting for me to chase her) and then having me chase her to her dog bed where she gets a belly rub. She will do this over and over again.

Jasper loves to rear up like a horse and come back down with his front legs fully extended as he pounces on me. He so loves this game. I pretend to pounce back before chasing him around the coffee table again.

Silliness such as this is par for the course here at Casa del Mel.
Fun is the name of the game.

It’s a little dark, but here is just a snippet of Jasper and Lady playing.
