Still no leaves on the tree?

Southpaw?

Somebody doesn’t seem to understand how this game of catch between a person and a dog works.

Maybe carry treats in your pocket…bribery works…

You’re lucky he’s not chewing on the mitt. Or the ball.

Are they playing catch with a BONE?

I should try this with my dog who doesn’t understand the concept of language. She ate a dead, old bird yesterday. She would probably eat the mitt and maybe the ball, too, if there is one. Plus the grass. She loves grass. She does not play fetch. Still waiting to see if she can process that bird. She is small and swallowed it whole before I could get it.

I hope we don’t have to wait too long for Harry to recover from this one.

Dogs and catch living together! Mass Hysteria!

Out superhyper Border Collie loves playing catch with his Kong. I have limited mobility so he has to drop it at my feet for me to fling it to him. We have excellent communication, however. If he doesn’t get it close enough I look at him and shrug my shoulders, whereupon he gives a groan that for all the world sounds like “of fer goodnes sake!” and tries again. We have a blast!

Better idea: Just have a kid, they’re smarter. Marginally.
