Put the ball down and no one has to get hurt!

MINE! MINE! MINE!

I've almost got it!

And so my work here is done!

A Previous Attempt

Krum's impersation of the Alien creature escaping a 9 in tennis ball.

Undeterred by previous failures, Krum's Dad brings out the big GUN! An Eight-Pound Medicine Ball

http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~mnb/images/medicine3.jpg


I wanted to get him the 12 pound medicine ball, but the SO having learned a lesson that I had not suggested that we should get a cheaper one... just in case.

Unfortunately, I watched Krum sink his teeth into the 8 pounder and walk around with it... so most likely the SO was correct. (But don't tell HER that!)

Krum is totally cool! This is what happens to footballs in my yard:

Don't know where I'd be without my doggies.

This is my big girl Gracie who goes through tennis balls like there is no tomorrow.

Brodie is a little devil who likes to take it away from her and play keep-away.

And yeah, I know I need to mow the yard. It's on the list.

A few from my own zoo ...

I love my flock. I've had birds in my life since four days before my eighth birthday and I couldn't live without at least one.

Two and a haf cats surrently reside with my wife and I. (The half is a Feral Kitten who has taken to hanging around our place.) They cause so much havoc around here, but they are too funny.

Yeah... what the hell is it with dogs and tug of war.

Krum and Sampson (my housemates dog) will play tug of war until they're both lying to in a puddle of their own spit.

My favorite game of theirs is frisbee tug of war, because inevitably they end up with half a frisbee in each of their mouths and going their separate ways.

Wal-mart has a fun set of 20 tennis balls for 5 dollars, they come in red, blue, and the standard green-yellow.

The picture you posted is a very familiar one in my house, that and the littering of tennis ball pieces everywhere.

We enjoyed playing lake fetch with the dogs this weekend. The little puppy from the pictures is now 80 pounds and loves to swim, as does our big girl. They both have a strong "save the stick!" instinct and an equally strong competitive spirit. We kept getting back one stick with two dogs hanging off opposite ends, or occasionally two halves of a stick, one in each very proud dog's mouth. It was a great time.

Yeap. I know that proud look.

At a very young age, I walked Krum with Sampson.

Sampson liked to pick up sticks and walk around with them in his mouth. One time, I turn around and Sampson is walking with a stick in his mouth and 9 week old Krum is following his 'big brother' around with a twig in his mouth.

My housemate and I nearly peed our pants laughing.

I loved it. I can see it perfectly!

My what sweet, sweet animals you all have. I've posted her before, but I love my dog, Zoe, too.
