Elish thinks he's a dog

Elish learns a lot from those around him. One of his biggest influences is his big "sister" Leba. He immitates her in the following ways:

• He plays with the dog's toys
• He crawls over to the pantry where the dogfood is kept, opens the door, then opens the cover to the dogfood (in a big rubbermaid container). With one hand, he holds open the cover. With the other, he reaches in for the kibble pieces.
• Elish puts a toy in his mouth, then crawls around the floor with the toy in his mouth (like a dog carries a toy)
• He chews on rawhide (or trys to) when he finds them on the floor
• He chews on paper (just like Leba)
• He likes to eat from the dog's dishes
• He plays "fetch" - will 'go get it' and 'bring it back' when we throw a toy or ball (we are so sick...)
• He loves to go into the crate
• He 'mouths' like a teething puppy (oh yeah...he's a teething BABY!)
• He loves playing in the toilet...just like the dog
• We have a leaky shower head in the tub, so Leba jumps in, and elish stands outside the tub. They both try to catch the drops.
