BIG BOYS ONLY PLAYING MANLY GAME



Had to laugh yesterday as I was too busy working other dogs like Holly on her Retrieve homework, her Place and Down/Stay commands, Red on her Heeling/automatic Sits, Hold, Jump, Over and Down/Stay commands and wee wittle Shadow (toy poodle of only 3.5 lbs) on his Longe Line work and Sits....to have any extra time to play the beloved Applewoods pack game of "The Ball Game".

Both Sugar and Pete were a tad disgusted with me as they repetitevly brought and offered me choice, mud encrusted, slobbery balls, but alas! I refused to play as I was too busy with other dogs. In dismay....they had to go find their own entertainment which was the THE MANLY TUG'O'WAR GAME with the tire.... and NO girl dogs allowed!

What a hoot it was watching them, growling, spinning, pulling, and holding on for dear life as they played their BOYS ONLY GAME! After nearly 9 minutes, both were utterly exhausted, their flanks were heaving, the spit/drool was dripping off the tire (yuck!) and their growls were reduced to low groans.

Then...game over! Pete 1, Sugar 0. Oh well...tomorrow's another day...perhaps it will be Sugar who prevails over Pete in this BIG BOYS ONLY MANLY GAME OF TUG'o'WAR.

Too funny!
