We tried to soak up as much of the sun today as we could because tomorrow is suppose to be HOT and we plan to spend a good chunk of the day hanging out by the AC vents.
The boys play well together and only need occasional reminders to settle down. There is a lot of give and take in their play which is a really good sign.
Poni's not too thrilled with the whole "take" part of the relationship...especially when it's his favorite stick.
But he's crafty and he manages to win it back.
Another good sign that their play is nice and healthy...after getting his stick back, the first thing he does is look for Kiko to play with him again. It's a concern if he's always darting off with the toy or stick and being possessive of it, but that's not the case. He really just wants to play with him.
Nice boys! Even if Kiko plays the pesky little brother role sometimes, for the most part, they get along famously.
We're working hard on their self-control. Kiko has come a long way since his first visit here. He's quick to figure out that I want a sit from him...usually even quicker than Poni.
But he has a harder time holding his sit in a stay. We'll be working a lot on that over the week so he's better able to control himself when his meal is being prepped or he wants in or out of a door or when he's getting ready to go for a walk.
Poni may be slower to figure out sometimes that I want him to sit but he can hold that sit much longer than Kiko (most times). So for Poni, we'll work more on responsiveness to requests. Some of this may be adolescence but it will still help him to practice and learn to be more responsive.
Time to retreat inside. We're hoping the heat doesn't melt us all tomorrow. Thankfully we have plenty to work on in the house.
