Does Anyone Want to Sign These Two to a Contract??

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Fudge loves to play ball. Usually, Vern runs after one ball, gets it, and Fudge takes it out of his mouth, and he is done chasing the ball. He may still chase Fudge, however, or try nonchalantly to get the ball when Fudge is not looking. Sometimes, when Fudge starts to get tired, I make her sit and throw the ball to her to catch. If she catches it in her mouth, I almost always yell, "Airbud!" and throw my arms up in the air like she just got a touchdown. Vern likes this part of the game and decides sometimes he wants in on the action. If I tell Fudge to sit, often times he will sit right down and look at me like it is his turn. Fudge almost always catches the ball. I would say 95% of the time Vern does not catch the ball. Oh, he gives it his best effort, leaps in the air, and we all watch as it rolls down his front. It never phases Vern and frankly, I think he likes to make me laugh or at least, that it what I like to tell myself. How many of you have a dog that is part Retriever and can not catch a ball to save his/her life?

 

This is What Happens If Vern Catches the Ball...Fudge says, "I don't think so!" Same thing happens if he fetches the ball!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Ned never goes after anything you throw.  He might look at you like, "You were dumb enough to throw it, go get it yourself!" Clancy loves to try (emphasize try) to catch the ball or frisbee.  Clancy leaps and jumps and the ball and his mouth rarely connect.  He is pretty good at flipping the frisbee off the ground and into his mouth.

Not quite connecting with the mouth.  OOPS!Ground flip with a frisbee:

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Nancy, I love the pictures. Clancy is giving it a very good effort!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Nancy, I love that photo of Clancy mid-air! Kona puts his paws together like that, too. Sometimes I think he is trying to catch it in his paws.

[Pat and Traveler]

What a great shot of Clancy--in the air, with the ball probably going to hit his leg...soooo cute!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Love those doodles of yours! Thanks for posting the videos. Kona is our "catcher". Owen is our "get it out of Kona's mouth and bring it back". Gotta work to your strengths.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Bonnie. Sounds like your two work together to return the ball...LOL!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

LOL!! That first pic is hilarious Nancy! It would be a great one for the Snap, Caption and Post contest!!! Poor little guy, he's trying SO hard!!!

[Pam and Ginger Snap]

This is too cute....Vern makes me smile!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thanks, Pam. He does that to me too :)

[Susan and Sasha]

Sasha promises to be the designated "Cheerleader"...and is franticly looking for just the right outfit for the job!

She wants to wear a short skirt and a really cute sweater with the letter V on it!!

I really cannot understand Why??  Lol...

The pom poms will be very colorful...and she's working on a few cheers as I write this...

She should be arriving at your house just in time for the Big Game this weekend!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Vern is so happy. He loves the big V on her sweater :)  Give me a V..............

[Pat and Traveler]

They are such a cute pair--and so mellow, at least in these glimpses.  Vern tries--maybe if you threw hotdogs...?
