till this day, Snowy will grab ANYTHING that I am busy with (if his mouth was capable of carrying) -mostly papers and pencils/pens...and RUN away with it!!!!! If not something he can carry, then he goes searching for his squeaky ball, runs towards me and sits right next to me: squeaks, squeaks, squeaks on the ball until I get distracted! I think it is more of my fault because without intending to, I taught him that it DOES distract me and I end up facing him. If Snowy couldn't find his squeaky ball (because mommy was smart-remembered to keep the ball in the toy box), then he would search for whatever he can find.
For some reason, Snowy loves my brother's spiderman toys whenever he is around them. These toys have their legs, hands, arms chewed on!
Because of Snowy's outgoing personality, you gotta watch him when you are around strangers/in public - he approaches them very easily and can cause a little mischief. For example, we were once in an underground train. The man opposite us was carrying one piece of rose in his hand (flower was pointed towards the ground). That flower got Snowy's attention, without caring who was its owner, he jumped at it with that little opened mouth of his, wanting to grab it. good thing that the man didn't mind. In fact, he started a small game with Snowy: putting the rose close to the ground and the second Snowy jumps, the man pulls the rose away! that game went for at least 10 minutes! everyone else started watching and AWWHing at the crazy malt!!!
In restaurants (yes, many restaurants in some countries, Germany is where we were, allow our 4 legged companions in), even after having his meal before joining me to the restaurant, Snowy will "sit pretty" for people in the next table, doing that trick as if to ask for treat/food! He is getting better at learning that he isn't supposed to do that now though, but he tends to forget sometimes.
If you were in a boat with Snowy, holding him tightly by the leash is VERY IMPORTANT!!! I learned that after he jumped right in the lake, swimming after the ducks in 2007!!!
When I give the malts a chewy, if Snowy got the chance (while Crystal looked a little away from her chewy), Snowy will zoom, carries her chew WHILE HAVING HIS OWN in his mouth! he carries the two of them and just want them all..................Snowy's never ending stories can go on and on:smpullhair:
Now with Crystal, she is more of a malt who cares SO MUCH about pleasing her mommy - she is natural at that! Because of that, when she wanna do something that she knows her mommy wont be so pleased with, she will try and grab Snowy's attention to join:w00t: that girl surprises me because she does these acts in a very sneaky way! If you didn't take a second look, you will hardly see that it was her who encourages Snowy and when she sees him doing it, she immediately joins - I guess that she thinks that if Snowy did it, she will get in no trouble! the latest examples that happened of her encouraging Snowy was when she stood in the little bridge of the pool. She knows that when Snowy sees her there, he runs to her and jumps right in (then she ALWAYS jumps after him)....In days they are allowed in the pool, I don't really mind, but in days that they are not due to their bath days, I DO MIND! Crystal is good at stealing food. just watch out! don't leave any human food in her reach!
The one mischievous act that Crystal doesn't mind doing without being sneaky is chasing Snowy when he plays fetch(minding his own business) and then pulling his hair/tail/ears....etc and basically drives him nuts while he plays!!!!!! If you wanna know what I mean, here is a video that shows her doing what she enjoys doing - going mischievous towards Snowy
ok, I better stop typing here.....I cannot stop sometimes :HistericalSmiley:
