Fetch

We have a yard! Well OK, we've always had a yard. But NOW it has a fence! We have a fence!!! It still won't do to leave her out there. She is into digging holes. But it does mean we can engage in the age old past time of FETCH.

First, we tell her to sit. This doesn't last long, she sorta squats until the ball leaves Brendan's hand, at which point she runs off bounding like a deer for a few steps and then full sprint.

VICTORY




For some reason she tends to veer to the right (or left from her point of view).



more VICTORY




Eventually she gets so tired that in between throws she just flops down.




Brendan is her main fetch buddy so far (I am in charge of photography!).


He also helps when she loses sight of the ball. We love Abbie, but she is not the most brilliant of fetchers in the world. If she thinks you are throwing left, she'll get a head start, and then completely lose it if the ball goes right. But Victory or not, she's just the happiest pup ever!
