Dogs love learning!


Lexi is not very good at catching stuff, you know, cookies, balls, random things that Mom might be throwing- so we decided to help her out a little. Here, she is carefully listening to the instructions on how to catch a tennis ball. She was quite interested.

 
Look at the concentration... it makes the fiery Dobermann a fierce ball-catcher....


Jaw precision is critical- open your mouth too much and the ball goes down your gullet, too little and it bounces off your razor sharp tooth.


The grab...


Success!

After one million throws where Lexi finally caught one, I decided to learn something too. 





So I taught myself to read.

  1. Hey Willow! We got to sniff a dog yesterday. Riley came to visit and we sniffed him on his nose. We even hung around for a long time and got more and more interested in this furry thing and then BAARRKK! We left town. Why do you do that? We had to HISS.

  2. Dogs bark to make cats leave the room. Because cats suck.

  3. We do not suck. Besides our Mommy told us that you dogs do farts. We don't do that, because we don't know what they are, but Mommy says they stink. So there, dogs stink!

  4. OMG best pics ever! how many tries did THAT take with the ball?? She is such a goof when it comes to catching; she watches your HAND instead of the item coming OUT of the hand. derrrrr

  5. She was pretty funny. After a few times, she did watch the ball, but if it went too far from her, she missed it. I guess I was more throwing it into her mouth than she was catching it. But, she was a good sport!

  7. We already have a Kindle. We walk on it and sniff it when Mommy reads every night. We like to disturb her so she will pet us. Works every time.
