For Bert

Hello Friends.

While my MOM was away in Colorado doing the wedding thing (see last post) she was in good company with Abbey Grace.  Abbey is just as much as a ball freak as my buddy Bert.  The only difference is Abbey knows how to bring the ball back AND drop it at your feet.  Bert LOVES LOVES to play ball.  He loves it to be thrown, he loves to chase it down and he even runs it back to whomever threw it.  The only thing is he is not so good at dropping the ball, even though he wants you to throw it again.  It's CRAZY!  So I ask my MOM to get Abbey to do an instructional video to help my pal out.  Maybe it might help out somedog you know too.

 
 


Do you think you've got it now BERT?!!
Blessings,
Goose

  10. Oh, see... I was WONDERING who played the ball. Thanks for remembering to put it in the credits!
    Sometimes I give the ball back, and sometimes I want to play a little tug-tug. Mom is just thrilled that I'll actually play "real" Fetch instead of the Siberian version. Cammie is hoping I'll grow out of this phase ... whatever that means!
    Yours sincerely,

  11. Hey Goose!
    Wow, this was soooo cute! I love her tail action on the return zoomies. BOL Sure sounds like Bert's gonna stick to his usual plan. I like to change it up a little....so sometimes I drop my beloved stick for my peeps and sometimes I make them chase me around for it. It's good to keep your peeps thinking and challenged that way. BWAR HAR HAR
    Grr and Woof,

  12. Wow...that's just what my sissy, Pepper, does with the ball. She gets it and then THROWS it at Mom. If Mom ignores her, she'll pick it up (slobbers and all) and forces it right into Mom's hands. She won't quit, so most of the balls in our house are sitting on top of the fridge. BOL

  13. I'm sure he got it, Bert is a super smart guy so I'm curious what will happen when he tries to do it like Abby! btw: I'm deep impressed how far your mom can throw a ball, wow! maybe she can throw one over the ocean for me ( I bet she can manage that) because my mom is a pitiful pitcher... she can throw a ball as far as three frog leaps.

  14. We think not bringing the ball back is good exercise for mom. Then she needs to come get it, BOL

  15. Katy's like that too. She loves to chase it, not so great at bringing it back. Thankfully, Bailey usually will pick it up and bring it back.

  19. From Abbey to Bert:
    I was so honored to be featured in this video, I feel like a "Movie Dog!!!!" When we lived in Utah, my Mom taught me how to bring the ball back and drop it right at her feet. Now, it is a good thing that I know how do do that, because on good days Mom comes outside and sits in a chair to throw it for me. Bert, if you learn to drop the ball, the bonus is that you get to play more ball. So drop it quick, you get to run at least twice as many times. Of, course my whole family has to use "Chuck It" to through it as far as I want, but Goose's Mom must be some famous softball player or something because she just throw it all the way up to the hill. Good luck Bert, I know you can do it. Hey Goose, and say hi to your Mom from all of us.
