2023-08-23 Xiao Qi Ji: Splish-Splash & the Blue Bottle Bash!

Описание: Today, like most days, Xiao Qi Ji got really frisky racing around & playing with his enrichment, splashing in the pool, and yes, playing in the trees and his hammock structure! One of the most endearing behaviors Qi Ji has taken on since being separated from his mother is how he plays with his enrichment. He loves to tumble down the hill with his toys, or push them down the hill and race after them (much like he did his birthday cake). Today his "blue bottle" (looks like an elongated Ping Pearl) was his target, and he tumbled down the hill with it (as well as his burlap sack and holey green treat ball), turning back around and racing up the hill with it in his mouth only to repeat the process until it wound up in the outdoor pool. (And was that leftover birthday cake at the front of the yard?)

Speaking of pools, as you'll see our "water baby" still LOVES water, and he spent a lot of time cooling off and splashing in the outdoor pool! And in the beginning you'll see Qi Ji get some attention from his keepers up by the gate!
