Mason loves other dogs. On our walks when he sees another dog he is curious and wants to walk up to them to say hi. He has lots of neighborhood friends, to name a few a big 6 yr old chocolate lab, a 7 month old spaniel mix, a 4 yr old Wheaton terrier, and Faccia shares her best friend Kayla, who is a Airedale/poodle mix, with Mason...
We saw the neighbors cat outside the other day...(this cat lives with 2 dogs) and Mason smelled the cat and did not seem to have any problems with her.
"Puppy Mason" REALLY likes kids and is warming up to people especially if he recognizes them or if they are walking with a dog. He is known to give some unexpected kisses sometimes too!
Mason really like to run around in the yard and play with tennis balls, etc. Steve and I always play outside with the dogs to keep them occupied by throwing/kicking balls around etc.. We had a tennis ball that is slightly larger than a normal size one and it squeaks, Mason loves this ball. We also play "tennis balls" in the den. In this game there are usually a couple of tennis balls around and this game allows the pups to have a ball to themself while we roll others around, it is cute to watch them follow the ball as it is rolling.
Also, Mason loves to chew on hard bones and Kongs. His teeth a sharp so he tried to pick at the rubber Kong ball so we watch him with that. Mason also LOVES to take anything that Faccia is playing with..if Faccia has it...it must be fun! The best part is when the two dogs chew on their hard bones together and lay next to eachother and switch every couple of minutes. It took about two or so weeks to teach them to "share" If you have experience with children you understand the concept of quickly changing the focus of attention. I do it with these dogs all the time.
Mason liked to be combed with the furminator and he likes his ears scratched.
He LOVES HoneyNut Cheerios...but who doesn't??
