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.)
The Friends
They knew they need each other!

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.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that was good for Nigel and lifted his spirits. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteDamn! Look at those little daggers of teeth that Doc has! Yikes!
