     @breadbin Yes indeed. Originally bred to be fighters, yet what emerged were non-violent, quiet and playful hilarious circus clowns. :)

     @breadbin my guy is a huge fan of tug o' war. He has a large toy collection (what we call the Toy Store) and he enjoys selecting one or 2 per day. He'll bring them to us, then prevent us from taking it. Then he'll press the toy on us, but as soon as we reach for it, psyche! If we motion towards it, a deep growl (with no bite). He never tires of this game. If we go ever grab it, he fights to win it back. Over and over.

     He only has a few programs, but the ones he has are consistent. 😂

     @amigalove Looks over at Sherlock the Bostie to my left.

     That goof is a coward:) He barks and backs down:)

     Mabel the Frenchie on the other hand, a living battering ram:)

     @breadbin
     interesting - my guy barely barks ever. That was actually one of the main reasons we got to Boston in the first place is because they are legendarily quiet animals. My wife works from home and is on conference calls all day long and the last thing we could have was a barking dog in the background. If he does make any noise it’s more like a cough! :blobpeek:

     @amigalove That is very on brand for a Bostie :)

     These two has a favorite game that goes:

     1. Bother me because they want to go out (Sherlock barks, Mabel gets in my face)
     2. Mabel then plays don’t want to come back in again (back yard)
     3. Sherlock comes right back in to play “give me treat for coming back in”
     4. Repeat :)

     @breadbin Jean Luc has had a life-threatening digestive issue about four years ago and now he’s only on handmade food, which is very expensive/time consuming to manage, but most of his health issues disappeared once we moved away from processed dog food.

     @amigalove Hehe. That they have in common too. But they don’t pull it out too often luckily.

     How about the classic chemical warfare (passing gas)? We’ve managed to optimize the diet to virtually eliminate it.
