Thanks, Chad!
What a session!
I always love to see Burrito and Neggie play! And Dora tucked that scarf into her pelvic pocket and sauntered right by Honey B, teasing her like you do with a cat and a string toy.
But my heart skipped a beat when Honey B went up high with that scarf dangling! Two stories!:flushed:
I was happy to see Mave “supervising” Dora and Honey B because it seems like we see a lot of silly play between Dory B and not so much Mora. Speaking of a lot of silly play together, Negra and Burrito really do have the best play sessions. And we saw yet another use for those popular headbands!
Hope your training sessions went well. Thank you, Chad, for todays playful fun filled video!
