Tug 'o War, Part II: Peacemaking

What does any good mother do when both her children want the same toy?  Assuming she's given up teaching them to share, she buys them each their own toy.

Here is Misty with her squirrel toy.

Here is Zephyr with hers.

Here is Misty watching Zephyr shake her "dead" squirrel.

Here is Misty with Zephyr's squirrel and Zephyr looking longingly (or calculatingly) at it.

Here is Misty offering to play with Zephyr (with Zephyr's squirrel).

Here are Misty and Zephyr playing tug o' war with Zephyr's squirrel--first Zephyr prevails, then Misty prevails. Back and forth, like a tennis match . . .

Until Misty wins and runs off with Zephyr's squirrel--for the second time!

The game is over; Misty wants it for herself.

This is Misty looking pleased with herself!
