Wet Balls

Get your mind out of the gutter. It is not what you think! *laugh*

This morning we were surrounded by wet balls all over our house. Every time I turned around, there would be another wet tennis ball lying on my carpet or in the middle of our Pergo flooring. Sure, wet balls are normal around this house because the Lab Brats tend to have a bit of drool when playing but these were soaking wet!

I watched as Dakota grabbed another ball from right under my nose and followed her to the kitchen. She then stood over her water bowl and let the ball take a head dive into the 4" deep dish. The little brat was dunking her balls to get them all wet so that they would make a squishy noise when she squeezed them between her teeth.

When that ball lost its "squishiness", she would go to grab another ball and do the same thing to it. This was her way of entertaining herself while mommy and daddy were getting ready for work. If we weren't going to entertain her, then she had to do something. So, as far as she probably figures, it is all our fault that she had to resort to such measures because we should have spent more than 30 minutes playing with her this morning. *laugh* I mean, that is what us dog owners are here for, right? To entertain our beloved canine companions?

Now I am surrounded by wet tennis balls from one end of this house to another and the Lab Brats are lying in their sun spots like they are innocent pups and the wet balls magically appeared on their own. What brats! *huge laugh*
