Complicated Canine Stick Rituals

When a terrier and a Border Collie get together, they can use their powers for evil. Or for good. They mostly use them for good. On their most recent beach trip, they decided to share a stick. Sage gnawed chunks off one end and Mr. N chewed on the other. 


That is until Mr. N decided he had enough of sharing and dragged the stick away. Sage will take back the stick when Mr.N gets tired of it. Until he steals it back again. 

Do your dogs play games with their friends?

  1. Love seeing these two together, they are such good friends and such a Mutt & Jeff team.

  2. I love this picture! Barley's idea of a dog friend is one who completely ignores her existence (like my parents' sweet, wonderful dog), so she prefers to snuggle on the couch with her friends instead of playing with them. Sometimes playing with them gets her too excited and she forgets how to be nice.

    1. Haha. She would HATE Mr. N. He's really bouncy and ready to play and filled with all the energy.

  3. LOL well at least he shared it for a bit. Brown dawgs would just pull until one of them got it.

  6. We have the antler wars in our house. They go just like your stick story above. Sometimes I find a real nice stick. I flaunt it, but then Bailie steals it from me and eventually drops it somewhere. Seems we all lose interest in time.

  9. I love seeing them together - they remind me of my awesome duo I grew up :) I miss having two doggies in the household - it is more work but when you get two that get along it's just amazing watching them play.

    1. It's awesome because Mr. N gets to hang out with his bestie and I only have the upkeep and maintenance of one dog!

  10. That looks like a fun game! It is great to see Mr. N with his friends. He is a very social sort of guy! It is adorable how he keeps up with dogs that are twice his size.

    1. Haha. I think actually Sage is almost seven times his size! He bosses her around shamelessly though.

  14. Love the Odd Couple. Kilo hates sharing or even seeing other dogs although he shared water and treats with Nemo the Chi last week- I was amazed. There's hope.

  15. That sounds like a cute and entertaining game to watch. Carmine likes to chase Milita around the house, but she's not always so into it (they are both cats).
