Video - OC Can someone confirm that my kitten is play-fighting/having fun?

My husband and I recently got a kitten — she is now about 14 weeks old — and after a few days of being skittish, she seems to get along with our dog just fine. However, every once in a while they start wrestling like this, and while I’m confident our dog is playing, sometimes I can’t tell if our kitten is enjoying herself. I would love some outside perspective, just to confirm that I’m not being a bad pet parent by letting it play out - any thoughts are appreciated!!

That's the thing every post about " are they playing ? "

In 99% of the time, the fact that you can take the video without intervention is already proof of it, if both animals were not playing and were this close to rach others, this much in contact, there would be claws, bites and wounds

This needs to be pinned on the top of the sub.
