Great idea! Even better that Gabbie loves it!

Where did the puppy go? Gabbie is all grown up! She is beautiful, glad she likes playing ball.

Now you need one of those ball flinger things so she can get more exercise without wearing out your arm.

Really nice day today, but I didn't do much...the mousture has caught up with my leg and foot....tho, getting started on clean up tomorrow...then rain all day Mon....then dry weather until Sat. Gabbie has found a new favorite game....she likes to stand at the top of the stairs and drop her ball down the steps to either Joyce or me at the bottom....then we toss it up and get it to ping somewhere and she runs it down, picks it up, and then drops it back down the stairs....here she is in action....
I try to hit the door at the top and bounce it back into the living room. She has been chasing the ball all day....well, every time she can goad one of us to go out and throw it for her.....

Does she expect you to throw it back up the stairs for her? Or is that just cats.

My three kids love the video of Gabbie. Our GSD is too old to play. They want to get some balls for their Aussies now!

Yeh @Bruce ...she will chase it down around whatever it pings from and to....pick it up and return to the top of the stairs and drop it down, off the edge of the lower step....so it falls and bounces....all the way down. She can also catch a underhand thrown ball anywhere around her head and then lean down and drop it completing the cycle. She keeps us pretty busy.....keeping her busy....

In fact, here is a video of her catching a tossed ball outside....
We've been working on strengthening her eyesight and focus, she is developing fairly well.....

I snapped a few pics yesterday....this is on the hill in the back goat yard.....
...this is just to the right of the 1st pic....
....and this is a spot on top of the hill.....
...ya can tell that they have been grazing in areas, but letting others grow out....they prefer the 3-6" range in height....of course the Boys have to always have an eye on anything that moves in their territory and I had just finished cleaning out their house....man was that a Chore, but got it done and on the compost pile....it was like 8-9 loads in the wheelbarrow that felt like 20. I know most won't remember me saying that I was wanting the ducks to make dirt for us....well, they are exceeding expectations....the bottom of the fence is 1"x6"x12' and now the lower corner is overflowing the boards.....
.....it is to the top of the boards across the front also. They tickled me today as they found their way over to the goat yards and billed thru most of the stuff there....Soli has 2 little khaki hens that he battles for and it is hilarious watching him defend them from his daddy.....
