Three Games of tennis ball so far this morning

We’re watching our daughters border collie. He is around eighteen months old and he puts me in mind of the border collie I used well we had years ago. Our grand dog is like always ready this morning making coffee, I looked down and their he was with tennis ball in his mouth. Ok mister coffee now outside to work, and we played ball and then I went out to have my pipe after breakfast. And he was trying to put the ball in my hand and we played some more. I told my wife I bet I could take him on runs with me and he would enjoy it. Years ago our collie would see me getting my sneakers on and was ready for a jog. Their just an awesome breed last night in bed. The golden was sleeping between the wife and I and as I laid in bed reading young pup was chewing on his tennis ball.

as you are a dog lover. Make sure it's a border collie and not a borderline.
I can't help but muse on what you put in your pipe after breakfast. I prefer a bubble pipe in the tub.

One of my Mom's babies is a 13 yr old named Susie. She has the spirit and energy of a much younger dog. While on a walk a few years ago, Susie took off after a cat and dragged Mom down and Mom broke her shoulder. Now Mom tethers Susie to a golf cart and Susie runs along the side of it. She loves it. What we do for our babies. They surely deserve it though.

I just hope that the Boog doesn't show the BC any of his counter surfing skills though. Especially all the yummy food during the holidays.
