Sharing Toys

Posted in Zeeke, Zoe/Interaction

I’m simply amazed at how well they share toys. Maybe not as amazed as I was that Oreo was sharing with Tessa, but we were a little worried that Zeeke would get possessive of toys and especially bones. But it was all for nothing. She can walk right under his chin and take a rawhide out of his mouth and he does nothing. In fact, she did that just now. He feels so utterly non-threatened by her. Sure that’ll change as she matures, but I think by then they’ll have figured it all out.

Earlier I was laughing my ass off - Zeeke had a big rainbow squeaky toy. I watch tv for a few moments. I glance down to my right, and Zoe’s laying on a pillow with the rainbow squeaky toy. I giggle. So then a few minutes later it squeaked, and Zeeke got to his feet, walked over, and took it from her. She was totally unconcerned. In fact, she followed him across the room, and when he layed down to chew on the toy she walked under his chin and politely picked the toy up and trotted back to her pillow with it.
