Greeting Tazo

Blarney and Tazo greet each other with moving nuzzles and soft cooing 'dog laughs'. They walk shoulder to shoulder leaning in with noses in ears and under chins. The greeting lasts several minutes, gradually winding down often to a crouch-position face off. Wild chasing usually comes next, with Tazo bowling into Blarney and rolling him over like a birling log. If there's furniture, they run around it. If there's bushes, they run through them. The game sometimes picks up momentum when an object like a chewing toy becomes involved. Tazo runs with the thing and Blarney feigns interest and gives chase. Blarney can never catch Tazo, so he has to wait until her guard is down then grab the toy and hold on. They truly wear each other out, not to mention all those watching them.
