The new green cuz

So we had a little Christmas here with a recent Amazon order coming through our house this afternoon.  In 1 of the 4 boxes was a green "good cuz."  I ordered a medium because that's what I thought the dino cuz was.  HA!  The dino is a small and Ori's eyes shot wide open when I pulled him out of the box.  He's so big that O had to figure out how to fit him in her mouth.  Sometimes I catch her carrying him by the foot.  The cuz for O is like doggy crack.  I've caught her pawing up at the dining room table when cuz is in time out.  She goes crazy over them and loves to kill them.  The squeaker is on the back of this cuz rather than under the feet and she's already working on getting the squeaker out.  We're keeping an extra close eye out whenever he's being played with!

What is more exciting than O playing with the good cuz is Moo playing with it!  Nick called me out into the living room to have me witness Molly chewing on the same green cuz trying to get the squeaker out!  I sat there in disbelief watching Moo chew and chew and work to get the squeaker!  What was equally amazing was Ori's behavior while Moo had the cuz.  She watched Molly and sat near her but not once did she get into Molly's space or try to take it from her.  (Ha, slightly different story than watching O try to jump over the back side of the couch to get it from me earlier this evening!)  O was originally chewing on a bone (a coveted bone might I add) and when the cuz started squeaking in Moo's mouth poor O wasn't sure what to do!  It totally made my evening to watch Moo chew on the good cuz.  These 2 girls are so good for each other!  Walking this evening Moo did fabulous keeping up with Ori and while she sleeps a lot more she's still chewing on bones, bullys, and now a cuz!

We also picked up a small tug-a-jug in the Amazon order and that seems to be a fun interactive game for the 2 girls with at least 1 human.  Ori pulls on the rope and when the kibble spills out like a pinata both she and Moo scramble to pick it up as fast as they can!  Molly hasn't quite figured out how to get the kibble out and Ori left to her own devices tried to rip the rope apart!

It's 9:30 and Ori is finally looking tired.  We spend over 5 hours in the evenings working to tire her out with walks, playing with toys and chewing on bones.  She's a blast to watch and play with and we're happy to help her find appropriate things to chew on!  She jumps a good 3 feet in the air up to grab a cuz or other toy from our hands.  Her back end is so strong that it end above her front end in the jump.  She's crazy and we love her so.

Ori did start the morning off by destroying a box of tissues though.  Ha!  Maybe her nose was running... or maybe she was cranky that she didn't get any coffee from my mug : )
