GAME TIME

This morning Nigel got off his place on my bed and was hauling around on the floor in my room. Nigel is usually on the bed or on the couch. Because he "leaks" I really don't love having him scoot around in the main part of the house. The rug in here is easily steamed clean.
Now. Doc has met Nigel but they have not interacted. Doc has not yet figured out how to use stairs (onto the bed) and the bed is just a bit too high for him to jump onto.
But this morning I had to leave the room,and I left the two of them together, Nigel on the floor, and Doc loose.

When I came back, they were laying on the floor, alligator-mouth wrestling. Both were clearly into the game, but neither was being as rough as I know each of them can be.

The game went on for about 40 minutes. Then they kind of lost interest. Doc needed to go out-- Nigel wanted back on the bed.
But this was as much stimulation as Nigel has had for awhile. It was kind of amazing to me that they meshed so well. (Nigel can be a real grump, and Doc can be a real brat.)

  2. doc knows that nigel can kick his ass even with 2 legs dragging & is still unsure & nigel knows that cooper still watches from above over doc...so it's a good truce.

  3. I'm sure that was good for Nigel and lifted his spirits. Loved the pictures.

  4. I second Laura's comment that it was probably just what Nigel needed! Love the action shots you were able to catch and they seemed oblivious to you even being in the room and didn't interupt their fun. How cool!!
