Poshy in the Middle
January 6, 2008Today Brian and I discovered that some classic, timeless games require no explanation, as their concept is innate to even the simplest of beings…more specifically, to Posh. We decided to merge Fetch and Catch and ended up playing Monkey in the Middle with Posh for about a half hour.
It was pretty easy and required no explanation to young Posh. Brian just played fetch with her for a while, then I jumped in and started catching the toy, and the rest is history. She ran back and forth as though she had no idea what was happening next. I started to feel bad, because she ran with such conviction…as though we would miss and she would at last embrace her prize, so I let her catch the toy a few times. As it turns out, I don’t think she cared at all. I’m not sure if dogs smile, but I think she was grinning a little as she enjoyed a favorite pasttime of ours. Good times, good times.
That is too funny. Last night I was throwing Kelly’s toy in to the kitchen, she
would retrieve it and give it back to me….repeat…..repeat until Maggie decided to get a little aggressive and she beat Kelly out for the toy. Jealousy!!! First chance Kelly had to get it back, you better believe she acted on it and won. This time the toy did not come back to me. It went behind the end table. Kelly laid down next to the couch. I KNOW she was smiling!!!
Aren’t dogs great???? Ya gotta love ‘em!!!
Give Poshy a hug from her grammy
Libby, I think Posh and Sparkie need to go on a date! He is the same way when it comes to playing. His toys usually wind up getting shredded over time, though. He gets so excited, his energy is more than his toys can handle! ~Pam
