Following the recent theme of toys…Katie and I thought we’d share some of hers.  Well.  Not really share; I’m not sure she’d be good at sharing being an only dog.  But she has a basket full of toys, all of which she has loved at different times.  She mostly loves whatever is the new toy.  But some are her favorites all the time.  Like Mister Froggy whose yellow belly you see in the basket above.  And she’s pretty psyched about her frisbee too.  But her all time all the time can’t resist toy is her small tennis ball.  If she can find it (it’s frequently under some piece of furniture) she will drop it at the feet of anyone not payng enough attention to her.

Today I didn’t have to work and I have to say that I didn’t get much done around here either.  It was sort of a Katie free for all day, mostly playing fetch the ball, fetch the froggy, fetch the doggie…that would be me fetching…not her.  If the toy gets flung into a scary place, say under the desk, or under a chair she will plop herself down and look expectantly at you until you give up and just get her the toy.  Really I don’t think she needs anymore doggie training, she is smart enough as it is.  I took a picture of her with her ball today that reminds me of the picture Sara took of Oreo:

So I have to go…she wants to play!  We’ve already taken a trip to the pet supply store where we practiced heeling with distractions.  She did so so.  We’ve thrown the ball for what seems like hours.  You’d think she’d be tired, but no, right now she’s growling at a possum that is eating birdseed outside her back door.  Possum doesn’t seem to be intimidated, so I’ll distract her with a toy.  Time to go.  As Katie would say, we’ve got to go Go GO GO!!
