So intelligent it's scary
When out walking Meeka and Storm tend to stick together and if one finds something interesting the other is soon sniffing in the same spot.
Storm often goes crashing through the bushes with Meeka waiting on the edge just in case something comes out. That is until Storm got his ball obsession
I never take a ball when I walk because I like dogs to do dogs stuff, I hate to see a dog going back and forth after a ball when there is so much stimulus for them elsewhere. However, Storm always seems to find one on our walks and once he does he is not interested in anything else.
Meeka seems to get really frustrated by this, I think because she loses her buddy and she has to investigate things on her own.
She has recently started to try to sabotage Storms fun. I didn't believe it at first but, watching them over the last few weeks, it definitely appears to be the case.
First off she just stole the ball and ran with it (she normally has no interest whatsoever in balls) but Storm just followed her until she got bored and then reclaimed his prize.
Next she raced ahead, put it down and then weed on it
but that did not put Storm off (he's gross
).
Then she decided to drop it in the water, I watched this happen a few times before I realised what she was doing, but Storm just leapt into the water after it.
Today took the biscuit. She grabbed the ball, ran off with it, bit it until it popped, dropped it in the lake and promptly watched it sink
Storm leapt in but couldn't find it so Meeka had her playmate back. Wonder how long it will be until he starts to dive for them.......
