Toy Time

After the walk I was feeling pretty confident about my dogness lessons. Today we took on the big one, TOYS and PROPER PLAY! But here is what I found out......Maggie was right, puppies DON"T SHARE! Even when it was my toy, well, let me just show you how it went.

Look how well it started.



Aren't we cute?




Then I decided it was time to switch toys, and look at the little sh*&. He grabbed my CUZ, and then wouldn't let go of the ball, DUDE SHARE!

And then, as if Mr. Greedy Pants didn't have enough of MY TOYS, he tried to grab my shake and bash toy, that was just too much and I refused to let him have it.

So we fought and pulled, man he's lucky that thing didn't break, or I would have bit his little butt right off that couch.
I decided we had better take it outside, you know, man to man where I could really show him who the boss is when it comes to the toys.
He did it again, grabbed it while it was IN MY MOUTH!


Then he tried to tug it away,




I don't think so. (K here: you will notice no pictures of Murphey winning and keeping the toy, somehow Reilly manages to get it from Murph every time, so I'm not sure if the right lesson is getting taught!)

But I am smarter than that. I got up on the couch with the toy and his legs are too short to get up here and steal it from me, Whaaa Haaa HAAAAA!

Graet Snaps ...Murphey ....

Maybe you should let Reilly have all the toys and Mom will have to go and get you all new ones...

You two are very cute....

You'll never win Murph! Whatever toy you're playing with is the one they want - even if you own a gazillion toys! You have to outsmart him at every turn!

Love ya lots,
Maggie

Love the cute pictures of you starting out on the Sofa.
Loks liek Reilly just decided that playing with a toy by himself wasn't fun enough - so he wanted to play with you and the toys !!!
Great Fun

Murphy,

I was thinking the same thing as the Airechicks. Hide all the toys you absolutely love, but give the rest to Reilly. Make like you've got no toys to your lady, and BINGO! New toys!!!!

Hope it works.

Goober love,
Stanley

Hi Murph,
I was just catching up on your posts and WOW, you are a big brother now! Mr Reilly sure is a cutie-pie!! Haa.. it'll only be a couple more weeks before he is tall enough to jump on the couch!!

Murphey,
that looks like such fun, I know it can be fwustwating to have the little tike steal your toys, but pawsonally I like to play with doggies in the run in that way..we both hold on to the same toy and pull, or twy to gwab fwom each others moufs, it's a tewwier thing..
Murph I'd like you to be one of y boyfwiends too if it's OK with you, I think you're awfully cute
smoochie kisses
