... you have to have some security. Know that food and shelter are there; and you have people who care about you and watch out for you. It seems that Rufus is feeling pretty secure with his place in the family - in the last week, he has shown plenty of interest in wanting to play.
His favorite toys are the scratchpad/track ball from Steph and Dan. He plays with the ball, he scratches the part in the middle, he even lays on it. But, when he needs to burn off some steam, nothing beats the ribbon. Jumping, swatting, pouncing - he has good eye-paw coordination and will play until he is worn out. It starts out with a flurry of fangs and claws...
And, goes on until he says we're done...
We play up and down the aisle of the motorhome, but he can't get much speed built up in this snug space. We have told him about "home," but the coach is what he knows right now... and he has settled in comfortably.
He lets us know when it is time to play: he will come up beside you and whack you on the hand, like playing tag... time to get the ribbon out!
