Playtime

It's looking like there's going to be some big news come early November... but I'm not spilling the beans yet! You'll just have to wait and see, same as us!

In other, less vague news, Sam is a goofball. Of course, you already knew that. Even if you're a first-time reader, you'll figure it out pretty darn quick. Yesterday Sam managed to chew off one end of his rawhide bone, abandoning the rest of the bone for this tennis-ball sized loop of rawhide he could bat around the kitchen floor. When he's playful and he's got a toy, he tends to fling it out of his mouth into walls and under tables, then scramble after it. And was he ever in peak form last night.

He tossed the rawhide around. He got it stuck in corners and under chairs. He sat and barked at it when it got tangled in the TV cord. And of course, he tried to get anyone in the kitchen to chase him or play tug of war with him. Since it's impossible to play tug with a circular hunk of rawhide, I humored him by fake-chasing him around the kitchen. Here are the goofy results:





Sam's technique hasn't changed much in five months. He's pretty consistent, as proven by this video of him at 4 months old, playing with the ends of some carrots I was peeling:



Hope the videos brighten your day! Smile, it's playtime!
