47 Weeks - Maddie and Tattie

The first weekend in June, I took Maddie down to my friend's farm for some playtime.  Maddie played great with Tattie, a whippet puppy (7 months).

Tattie likes to wrestle and jump into everyone's face. I think she was surprised that Maddie will too!

Tattie then offered to play the role of hare, but Maddie was too fast for that to be sporting with a young pup.

So Maddie offered to play the hare and they had a much more sporting game of coursing of each other.

I was really pleased to see Maddie do that.  She always seems to know when to be polite or when it is okay to be rowdy.  Or when to chase or when to offer to be chased.  Maddie's speed has really kicked up a few notches in the last month so generally it is best if she plays hare for everyone else.

Both had a great time.
