Funny things that Finn and June do

[AllieMackie]

- Mutually chase each other around the house. It used to mostly be Finn doing the chasing, but lately, more often I see Finnegan tearing past me with June Bug hot on his heels.

- Play wrestle. Usually, Finn is lying down, and June is upside down between his front legs, face to face. This provides optimal play for both of them, since Finn can nibble on June's ears and paws while June wraps her paws around his muzzle and nibbles his jowls.

- If June shows interest in one of Finn's toys (which she does... especially the few that jingle when shook) Finn will pick it up, follow her around, and taunt her to chase him with it in his mouth, jingling.

- June will sometimes poke at one of Finn's not-quite-empty Kongs. When Finn sees this happen, he goes over, knocks it around a bit and they share the reward. (It's only a few pieces of kibble at a time so I allow June... plus it makes me giggle)

- Whenever Finn does accidentally play a bit rough (and with their size difference, it does happen) June meowls loudly, once, and Finn backs off, watching her and waiting for her okay to continue... which usually follows within minutes.

- When I fill the Kongs in the morning and mix June's morning food, they both sit right under my feet looking up at me... y'know, just in case something tasty falls. When I give Finn the spoon to lick that I use for topping his Kongs, June stands on her hind legs, wrapping her paws around Finn's muzzle for balance, and licks the back of the spoon. Finn thinks this is a-okay.

- When Finnegan comes home from the dogpark, herding lessons, or anything where he's exhausted, June Bug jumps all over him, pouncing on his tail and leaping at his face. She misses him when he's gone. When he comes home and is still energetic, you can guarantee some immediate chase games like the ones I mentioned in the first point!

And here I thought a mere month ago that they may never co-habitate peacefully. Patience pays off. Thought you guys might be amused and have a giggle at it too!
