Fitzi invites Lucy to play. Lucy is having none of it.

The dogs and I played outside. Lucy had her ball. Then we went inside; she did not have her ball.
Later, after dark, I let the dogs out for their last pee break. Before that I put them into a sit stay. Lucy looked up at the top of the clothes washer where we keep dog toys. She was looking for her ball. I said no it’s not up there it’s outside.
I said ‘Find your ball!’ Then I let her out, repeating ‘Find your ball!’ And less than two minutes later she brought it back.
What a smart girl.
While reviewing and archiving photos, came across this, one of the first photos of Stella way back in 2004, who has gone on ahead. It seemed to be worth sharing.
