Play Tactics

June 5, 2019 by Kelsi

When Jamie and Foxie decide to play, it is so fun to watch! They are hanging upside down, chasing each other, Jamie takes Foxie’s doll, and they can be found wrestling on the floor breathy panting. This time I caught them doing all of those things, but along the way Foxie found a big nut in the Playroom and Jamie wanted it. Jamie did not stop playing however. The nut just became part of the game. In the video at one point it looks like Jamie is trying to gently shake the nut out of Foxie’s mouth. You will see a lot of different tactics in the video like play biting, toe/foot grabbing, eye pokes, tickling, and belly pokes; but that one was a new one to me. I hope this brings joy to you on your Wednesday!

Also thank you to everyone who participated in the pop quiz blog yesterday! Everyone did so great! I put and answer key in the comments with explanations in case anyone want more info!

    Thanks, Kelsi!
    Glad the tiny one was able to hold onto the nut! Was afraid for her there…
    About yesterday’s quiz…….do you remember what caused the expression ofTiny in the top photo? Was it play? Because it seemed like there was more there

    If only international disputes among the lower (lowest) primates (humans) could be settled this way, “and everybody got to have fun.” Foxie is a genius in getting the Boss to play; then again, who can resist her charms?

    Sorry, I can’t find the answer key to the pop quiz, either on today’s post or yesterday’s. Where else do I look??

      Hi Maureen! The answer key should be located in the comments of the pop quiz blog.

        Hi! Thank you for your patience and sorry for any confusion, I had some difficulties posting it. It should now, actually be posted at the end of the comments on the Pop Quiz blog!

    This video is hysterical, especially when Jamie goes in for tickle. Well done Foxie for holding on the prized nut to the very end!

    This video really is adorable, thank you for sharing. It couldn’t help but notice how evident this video made it that Foxie is much smaller than the other. She is so cute. 🙂
