Fun with Pets

We had the chins out last night...Spike gets to stay in the room.  She and Fang (the grey chin) play...sort of.  Spike works up the courage to get close enough to touch her and when she does...Fang jumps up in the air in an unpredictable manner (thank you evolution!) and this scares the crap out of Spike who retreats in the opposite direction (sometimes colliding with Fang anyhow) and Spike has to work up her courage to approach again.  Meanwhile, Fang just goes about her business hopping around checking everything out.  Tater (the chin above), on the other hand, won't come out unless Fang is already out and since she has some vision issues we think this is why she doesn't stray too far from her home.  Spike spends most of her time stalking Fang and pays little attention to Tater...but what a cute picture right?  Buffy the Vampire Slayer is left out because she sits in the corner and growls and when Fang gets close she thumps her on the head repeatedly (regular little Bunny Foo-Foo that one).  I don't really think Fang cares but Buffy really isn't playing...and frankly...Buffy doesn't play that well with others.  And, of course, Berry Pebbles thinks the chins are whats for dinner...so she stays in the backyard while the chins are out because just the sounds (and smells) of them out of their cage running around in their room will send Berry Pebbles into fits as she digs at the door to get in and catch some dinner.
