There is nothing I find more satisfying than a game of fetch with my girlies. It really does my heart good! 
I've just spent the last hour throwing Lola's Kong airball down the back steps into the yard. She has repeatedly bounded after it, leaping over the wee wall onto the lawn and has returned it without fail with her little tail spinning with joy and an eager wee expression! Lovely!
Honey, who has recently mastered the art of swimming, derives more enjoyment from playing fetch in water. She's a picky soul - loves a particular stretch of the river where we walk her, but she will swim backwards and forwards relentlessly after her kong stick or her sliplead. She too has that doting, enthusiastic expression and looks positively forlorn when, after an hours solid throwing, we have the nerve to start going home!
I feel it really helps with bonding too - the sense of pride and fun you have watching them and the satisfaction of bringing a tired and contented wee companion home for a cuddle.
The simplest of pleasures are just such a joy! Just had to share this, as few of my friends would get how happy it makes me, but on here I know most of you are just as cookie as I am!! :lol:
