Elaine L:
Well, Kalluk spent some time this afternoon doing a mating dance for his Lady-Love, Chinook. He is no Michael Jackson, but he does have some good moves, although he is somewhat repetitious. He kept at it for quite a while, so I give him marks for persistence. Chinook did glance his way a couple of times during this dance routine, and when she moved off, she took her time, instead of making a bee-line for the exit. And she did not growl at him or swat him in the face, either. I do believe that she is beginning to come around.
Elaine L:
That's true, Kinderchick; I never thought of that.

LOL! Love your commentary, Elaine! :) I'm thinking that the camera averts it's "eyes" due to the fact that there may be wee ones watching (like Kinderchicklets! :o) so they want to keep the viewing to PG13! ;) It is a "family show", after all! ;)
Elaine L:
Well, Kalluk is all lovey-dovey this afternoon, trying out his best moves on his beloved, Chinook, who continues to give him the brush-off. He follows her around all over the place, and the best I can say right now is that she is at least not giving him a swat in the face anymore or running away, so maybe some hormones are kicking in.

Meanwhile, Kalluk's sister looks completely puzzled by her brother's behavior. He no longer wants to play with her in the water, which they used to do every afternoon. I believe she feels abit left out of things right now, and misses the fun they used to have. All this mating business is having an effect on everyone, I guess.
Kinderchick:
LOL, Elaine! I agree with you though and I do feel a wee bit sorry for Kalluk.
