Since the pasture isn't fenced and it is next to a road we haven't let the dogs run outside the yard. Today I decided to give them a bath so Rory was first and she really should be bald at this point but it just keeps on coming. We have a "share the hair" thing in this house. She's dry and I made her stay in the house cause she tends to lose focus when we're out. Annie on the other hand is extremely focused and all you have to do it have her ball and she's completely yours. We walked her out towards the pond which is only yards from the house and as we got closer she kept looking at it (ball in her mouth) as if she was thinking "cool, the pond fairy must have come last night." Actually, it was almost as though she didn't really believe it was there. Of course she was her usual obedient self and stayed with us until Vince threw her ball in the water then she swam and did something out of the ordinary, she passed up her ball twice. She just kept swimming in a big circle as though it felt sooooo good. We threw the ball in a few more time and then . . . the ducks came. All thirteen that are left came swimming around the bend as though they wanted to play too. Pretty sure they were just looking for a handout. Annie swam past them but kept looking at them. We're not sure if she wanted to eat them or just hang out but we thought it was better to bring her in. She came nicely and walked home to a nice cold shower. She is resting peacefully now dreaming of her ball and the pond. Rory is pouting I think she knows Annie went somewhere and she didn't get to go. Now the trick will be to keep Annie out of the pond!!!
