Play time

Cyril seems to have finally caught on. Over the last few weeks the penny seems to have dropped and he has worked out how dogs do the play thing!

Lily, who he visits weekly, has never allowed him to play with her. Not since the first time she tried and Cyril told her off. She worries him a bit as does Harley the Labrador puppy but recently he has seemed eager to try this new play thing out with him. That is until Harley goes yampy and then Cyril hides behind me until he goes away. Last week, however he decided he would actually instigate a game with Cody a 13 yr old lab full of arthritis who generally much prefers napping to playing. I'm not sure who was the most surprised us or Cyril when she actually did!

Dillon, his mad Spaniel mate, has been trying to get him to play since they met about a year ago Cyril gave him a good telling off too but Dillon is not easily phased and is very forgiving (if not a little bit daft). Try as he might Cyril would just never join in but today he finally cracked it and they had a whale of a time. That is until Cyril got all tired out and just lay down.
