Fun With Pixie

I mentioned a few blogs back that Hannah and Ben had got a miniature pincher, and on Thursday Hannah was round and brought Pixie (the miniature pincher) with her. The two dogs get on like a house on fire! so I took the opportunity to take a few photos of them, playing with what we call Ruby’s raggy.

Please can I have my "raggy" back?

On one or two of the photos it looks as thought they are about to tear the living daylights out of each other, but it is all play! Ruby is very gentle towards Pixie, and puts up with an awful lot of tugging and pulling from Pixie, who seems completely fearless where Ruby is concerned.

Despite the fact that Ruby can almost pull me along the hall when we are playing with her raggy, she has never yet dragged Pixie along the hall attached to the end of her raggy! This game usually finishes up with Pixie making a sudden dash and grabbing the raggy and running off with it and then secreting herself in some small space where Ruby can’t get to her! After a few minutes she will emerge dragging the raggy behind her just so that Ruby can join in the tug of war again!
