Sammy's Dream Day


One of the most important things in Sammy's life is her collection of balls... she loves tennis balls that squeak the most, then plain tennis balls (preferably one that's been left behind by another dog), then squishy plasticy ones that she can destroy and then any other kind of ball (I've even seen her try and pick up a basketball), so you can only imagine Sammy's pure shock and delight when we arrived at the dog park yesterday to discover 2 garbage bags, filled to the brim with tennis balls. Sammy could not pull herself away. She would grab one and I'd throw it, she'd bring it back, discard it, grab another one... we did this for probably 30 minutes and went through about half of one bag before I finally convinced her that it was time to go swimming... She ran around the park like it was Christmas morning and as she approached each new dog to play I could swear that each dog was saying to the other "Did you see the bags of tennis balls?!?"
