Mu and T had an extended wrestling session this morning. They were playing with a toy with a squeaker. Mu usually stays low and rolls over while Tino bites him from above or smothers him with his body. I know Mu is strong, but sometimes his neck is bent at odd angles while they wrestle. If my neck was bent that way, I would be dead. It never bothers Mu. Tino is bigger and stronger, with more energy. He plays rough, but I think he holds back with Mu, being careful not to hurt him. When T wrestles with Sky, it looks like he’s killing her, but he’s careful not to hurt her. When he wrestles with Fozzie, he basically just bops him on the head to get him stirred up then he sits patiently while Fozzie bites him all over. The other dogs play with each other sometimes, but mostly everyone plays with Tino. He needs a whole pack to absorb his energy.
