Baileys and Maen on TOYS!

I've started giving both of them this capsule-shaped toy that is 2 parts screwed onto each other, that I can put treats inside.
Baileys has been playing with it but not Maen. She's only interested in hoarding at least one, if not both of them, just so that Baileys cannot play with his. She growls at him (and very softly when AN is asleep. That's interesting to note.) when he walks near to the one that she has in her possession but dares not snatch from him if he's in the process of chewing on his. Maen always goes for Baileys' capsule the moment he leaves it alone and starts licking it for a while. Baileys then goes for the other (it didn't matter which capsule to him, it seems. He really likes this toy). It will not be long before Maen gets tired of even licking it and just puts a paw over it to indicate the toys as hers.

Baileys is smart! After just his first time playing with the toy, he almost managed to unscrew the 2 parts to get the treats inside! We were out and I didn't manage to see how he did that. I knew he was the one who did that because he had it in his mouth to greet us with when we came back home, and he continued to chew on it after that. Maen on the other hand, had lost hers (which I found under their bed).

It's interesting to see how both of them react to their own toys. Maen likes hard bones better. She still has this hard bone since she had it as a puppy. Baileys has already outgrown that one. The only thing that's preventing her from chewing on that bone, is Adrielle. AN snatches the toy from her when she doesn't think it's 'chewing' time, and sometimes, she wants to play fetch with them with it. Only Maen will run for that and when she gets it, she starts grinding her teeth with her and does not return.

No, both Baileys and Maen do not fetch. hehe. Adrielle wanted us to get a frisbee for them to play fetch with, which we did, knowing fully well what AN is in for. She will have to throw and fetch the frisbee herself.

That's about toys, Baileys and Maen.
