It is so strange to me how my dogs relate to their toys. They never want to play with anything unless the other one has it. For awhile, the toy starts a tug-o-war. Choca thinks everything in the yard is his, and if he's in a pleasant mood, he'll share with Slick. Then, Choca seems to time Slick's interaction with the toy. He watches and waits for his chance to grab it from Slick.
The dogs remind me so much of young children. They are so adorable, just like the children. The dogs are so much fun to watch and try to figure out the next move. I must act as a referee when I bring toys outside. Otherwise, a fight is in the cards.
My ultimate goal is to teach the dogs to play with their toys without a fight, and also, to respect each other's property. I have a ways to go yet, but with preserverance, we're going to make it.
