- Castor (2013-2021 RIP)
Castor has started to play right after dinner time. He will run back and forth, chasing his soft toys and shaking them in true predator style, and even if we don't throw the toys, he manages to chase them on his own.
Castor doesn't play very often, so it's really nice to see how he enjoys his toys and how quick and energetic he can be. The problem is that these bursts of energy always happen right after dinner. We really want him to play but not so soon after he's eaten as he quite often will throw up if he plays then. Obviously, it doesn't help telling him to rest after dinner and he doesn't understand why we don't want to play with him right then.
What do you think? Is this normal bulldog zoomie style and we just have to accept that he might throw up or should we hinder him from playing when he wants to play? We don't want to take his toys away or restrict him to a room with no toys or people as he's always had full access to the house and to his things.
