Rainy Days and Antlers

Apparently rainy, gloomy days are perfect antler chewing days.  The girls had settled down on the couch with antlers while Langley fluttered about in his oh-so-Langley way.  At first, Salish was hoarding both of the antlers but Apple managed to steal one from her and for awhile they chewed away in peace. 

But then Salish starting thinking she wanted both antlers again.

And then Langley decided he wanted to join the crowd and see what was going on.

After a couple scuffles broke out I decided that it was time for some quiet crate time with their antlers so they would leave each other alone, and also so I could get some stuff done around the house.  Salish gave a sigh and then went back to work on her antler.

Langley sat on his antler and nervously tried to decide what was going on and if I was going to give him a food toy.

Apple had one of the primo forked antlers in her crate that was just her size, however Apple decided that antler wasn't nearly big enough and started pawing at the huge elk antler that I had set atop her crate. Laughing, I decided to let her have it, even though it is almost half her weight.  Undaunted, Apple set to work. Notice in the photo that the antler is nearly as long as she is?

Now everyone is napping and I'm getting things done - happy times for all of us.
