Zimmie and I were playing it like we like to do, when the little one came in and said she wanted to learn how to play. I told her to sit and watch us at first:
 |
| "Ha roo! I'm the King of the Mountain!" "Wait until the time is right to make your move, Maggie, then ..." |
 |
| "BOOM!!!" "Oooh! That looks fun! Can I try?!!?" |
Zim and I thought she was ready, so I worked with Maggie, giving her step-by-step guidance.
 |
| "Let's go around to the end. Come shoulder to shoulder with me, Maggie!" "OK, Aunt CamCam!" |
She's such a good student! She's a natural!
 |
| "I'm going to get you, Zimmie!" "That's it, Maggie! Just like that!" "Ha roo! I'm the King of the Mountain!" |
She wasted no time at all, and went in for her first lunge while I coached her!
 |
| "BOOM! Oh... I missed." "Good, Maggie! Good! Try again!" "Oh, no! Ha rooooo!" |
She is such a quick study!!!
 |
| "I'm going to get you, Zimmie!" "Ha rooooo!" "Oh, I'm so proud!!!" |
I changed my vantage point, so I could continue to coach her.
 |
| "How did you do that, Aunt CamCam?!?" "That'll come soon enough, little one!" "Try to get me, Mag-a-roo! You can do it!" |
Zimmie is such a great mentor and big brother to us both!
 |
| "Ha rohrohroooooo!" "Excellent!" "I love how good you are with my puppy, Zim!" |
 |
| "BOOM!" "Oh, no! She's got me! The littlest river otter got me!" "She did it! I'm so proud! Remember to be gentle, Maggie!" |
I want her to learn to play River Otter Games, but I also want her to be gentle! That'll keep all of us (especially Mom) happy. I love having a puppy to train and mentor!
Cammie!
Miss Cammie,

That was fun! The only thing missing was the sound of 2 1/2 crazed river otters.
ReplyDeleteI think Zimmie is still king of the mountain, somehow :)
