Update on Ranger and Joey (formerly Champ)

It's been 6 weeks since Joey joined us. He and Ranger thoroughly enjoyed the recent snow, bringing in the occasional icicle to munch. Ranger has had time to adjust to our cooler weather, so he spent extra time patroling the yard. Joey also enjoys cuddling on the couch with our older dog, Rosie. He's so respectful of her, playing her kind of game (run and bark). With Ranger, Joey plays run and wrestle. He's such a diplomat!

Ranger and Joey have come up with an interesting variation on the classic tug game. Before Joey joined us, I'd play tug with Ranger and he'd occasionally flip on his side or back and let me drag him over the rug with the tug toy. Evidently, he really enjoys the sensation because he inserts it into his tug game with Joey. Not sure what Joey thinks of his opponent going belly-up in the middle of the game, but he seems willing to play along and drags Ranger for a bit before the standard game resumes. They are two peas in a pod!
