Today’s moment of zen comes to your courtesy of Pickle and Mae. I don’t know what other dog owners call this game, but around our place, it’s called “mouth wars”. That’s when your dogs play bite, without ever actually gripping each other. Well, I say ‘without ever’, but there’s the occasional incident of face grabbing, which is usually either tolerated, or corrected swiftly, depending on the dogs involved.
Mae and Pickle will play this game for a good forty minutes straight, before they both pass out. Pickle thinks it’s the most awesomely awesome game ever invented. Mae is pretty much just humoring her.
LOL that is SOO great to see..LOVE it. Made my day. Thanks Carol. Hugs/Kisses to the Mae. Miss her tons
We call it “mouth jive” and you’re right, they can do it for hours. Love to see happy dogs!

that is classic bitey face! although mouth wars gives it a more epic tone…
Funny, Leah and Tallulah play this game all the time!!! In fact they are doing it as we speak. They like to rear up like two stallions (or in their case mares) and go at it!!! Never gets old around here. lol.
LOL! That’s great! I’ve always called it mouth wars too, but I may have learned that term from you..
