Moxie Comes to Play

Moxie came over to play with Natasha & Stitch today:

Moxie is a Lakeland Terrier – the same color as Natasha & Stitch – and weighs about 13 lbs.  She brought Emily & Ben with her; they are watching Moxie while Emily’s parents are traveling.

We didn’t know how the dogs would all get along.  Natasha has always done well with other dogs at the kennel, and so has Stitch.  But, lately he has been all bark face whenever he sees another dog.

We introduced them outside, and there was a lot of posturing.  Moxie gave as good as she got – she’s got spunk.  Once we had them inside with leashes on, we gradually let them nose around each other and then they had a great time – romping all around together.

Moxie was right in there, chasing the ball (not caring whether she got it or not).  Natasha was happy because someone was throwing the ball, and Stitch was pretty much his normal doofus self.

Natasha even let Moxie get the ball:

Moxie got braver, and grabbed the squeaky spider from the toy box – the others didn’t mind:

Ben teased all three of them:

Natasha & Stitch wanted Moxie to stay, but she had to go before it started to snow!  It was a fun afternoon, and we should have three tuckered-out pups this evening.
