<DIV>It has been almost 2 weeks since Tallulah and Matilda joined our family and
I have been hoping that Loki would start playing with Matilda. There were a few
5 second attempts until last night. We were in the family room which has too
much furniture and way too many dog beds when Loki and Matilda started playing
hard. Alligator mouth, wrestling, humping,ear chewing etc. Tallulah was joining
in also. The girls weigh almost 70 lbs each and Loki is about 55 lbs so I have
this huge mass of rolling bassets taking up the floor. Problem is poor old
Crackers (13) wanted to see what was going on and kept getting knocked
down. This went on for about 45 minutes accompanied by a lot of woofing. Then
everyone settled in for a nap.</DIV>
<DIV>This AM when I came out of the shower and was getting dressed it was
suddenly "game on" again and they kept it up even when I let them out. </DIV>
<DIV>Right now, Matilda is woofing at Loki who is at my feet under the computer
desk to come out and play. </DIV>
<DIV>I guess everyone feels at home now.</DIV>
