Friends at last?!

It was a big night at our house last night.  Samish actually joined in and played with Langley when Langley was in full-on crazy zoomie mode.  I mean, even I want to take cover when Langley starts ricocheting around the room like a 20 pound pinball. Samish is only 10 pounds so I really can't blame him for being extra careful where wildman Langley is concerned.
Langley and Samish: two happy boys
It started with Langley getting a bad case of zoomies and Samish was a bit irritated by the flybys. He started chasing Langley and at first it was obvious that he wanted to give that big dog a piece of his mind.  But pretty soon he got lost in the pure joy of the figure eights they were tearing up and he was having a blast. Sadly, I didn't get my camera out until the very last 1/2 loop around the room, but even as short as it is, you can witness them playing.

 

After the racing and wrestling, we slowed things down and did some training together.  Langley was all business then but Samish was so excited that I was breaking out the treats he kept jumping high into the air and would land on top of Langley who was patiently waiting in a "down-stay".  Since early on when Samish first came to our house Langley did a full on belly flop on top of him in an attempt to get to a toy first, I kind of enjoyed watching Langley get a taste of his own medicine.
