play-fight erupts. Sooo glad they're totally devoted, because otherwise I'd have something to worry about. They snuggle together all the time, though. And as Brigid matures, she's slowly learning to sit on the floor next to me and then she'll get her ears scratched real good. I'm trying to encourage MM to sit on the other side where I can rub her tummy with my foot. But so far that doesn't last very long.

The chows each had one of Mom's feet for their very own, and that worked out well. I could foot-rub 2 bellies and type away with no problems at the same time. Sometimes they'd growl warnings at each other, and I couldn't maintain decent posture, but we managed.
