Five Things You Should Know About Inca - #2

  #2 Inca LOVES to carry things around in his mouth! 


This is one of my favorite traits of this silly little boy. When he gets really excited he grabs something soft (gloves, socks, shirts, shoes, undergarments, leashes, his sweater, etc) and runs around with them.

So what causes Inca to get excited and look for something to carry? A short list:

1. Waking up in the morning. Or in the evening. 
2. Dinner and breakfast
3. Coming in from outside
4. Getting ready to go outside
5. After playing with his foster sisters
6. When I make kissy noises at him and give him a good belly rub
7. When someone comes into the house
8. When someone is getting ready to leave the house

This makes putting our shoes on interesting, as they have often traveled elsewhere in the house thanks to Inca!

The cool thing about Inca though is that he doesn't chew on the objects. I can go over and take them from his mouth without any resistance.

 

Sometimes he will mouth them a little bit on the couch but he has never ripped, torn, or put a hole into anything. 

 

Of  course he doesn't always go for soft things. He also enjoys the plastic balls I have in the house, the tennis balls out in the yard, and of course his kongs! 

He has some competition for the balls and kongs though. As the saying goes, "All is fair in love and food puzzles."

He has the Kong safely behind him in the bed...

But the moment he leaves it unguarded, in comes sneaky sister!
