Tug of War

Here we are playing tuggies. I bring the toy up and then pull as hard as I can. When Dad wins he throws my toy down the hall. Then I chase it. |
This is me at the end of the hall retrieving the toy. It's a long way for a little pup. |

Here I am with the toy in my mouth bringing it back to Dad. |
I've learnt to bring it back, but I still haven't worked out what "drop it" means, so we have another tug until Dad wins again. |
We carry on playing this game until one of us gets bored, and Dad lets go and I fall over. From the above comments, you can see who gets bored first (it isn't me). I still haven't worked out what to do if I win as Dad won't chase it for me, but it's fun anyway.
Outside I play the same sort of game but it is
usually with a ball, which means that we do not have the tug of war. I just run
and fetch the ball. I've tried leaving it for Dad to fetch, but he just sits and
watches me. He's not as good at the game as I am. He is good at getting a broom
to retrieve the ball when it goes onto the pool cover. I tried it once, but I
fell in! (When I was little I could walk across the pool cover, but now I'm
bigger I'm too heavy).
