Hi Emi, You're welcome! LOL! Elsa (the bigger one with more white on her face) sometimes would haul Bessie around by the collar when they were playing, so we had to take her collar off for a while once we caught her doing it! When I took the pictures, they were doing it on the couch right next to me. They might get more into it as they get a little older, the pictures were when they were about a year and a half old. Now that they're 6, they don't play fight very often ... but once in a while, like after a bath, or after swimming in the pool they will, or if I intentionally rile them up and tell them to go get each other and slap my hands on the floor a bunch. When they were 4 and under it would be many times a day, really any time they got excited or riled up they would go zooming around the house and play fight. Shell
