Canine circus. . .

Since Akila has joined the brood of pooches here, she has shaken things up a bit. As she's only around 4 months old, it's natural for her to rattle the cages of Bejuca and Mini-B (both coming up on 9 years).

The other day, Bejuca decided she would join in Akila's frenetic playtime and took up the chase.

Bejuca is around 60 pounds, while Akila has bulked up to close to 6 pounds. Akila did something and Bejuca took off after her, chasing her around the outside of the house. Bejuca caught her a couple of times and pinned her down, then let Akila up to sprint off again. This went on for 5 minutes, with the two of them sprinting inside and outside the house.

Akila would take refuge under our bed, then bolt out when Bejuca was on the other side. Bejuca would let her get a bit of a start, and then lope off and catch her with a big paw.

Afterward, they both bellied up to their respective water dishes and nearly drained them both.
